Saturday

Saturday - March2Recovery - Henryville

Today students worked extremely hard doing various things with March2Recovery. All of the students contributed to working on the beginning stages of a new paver patio for the church where M2R is housed. The church provides a food pantry to the community and needs more space for patrons waiting for it to open. The patio area will provide that space. each student worked hard, despite the heat and sun, with plenty of water and inside breaks. Students also served lunch to volunteers who were working on homes, worked in the kitchen, and did other projects to help the organization.
We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked in Henryville and see some of the progress in the rebuilding of the town.
