Gathering at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning may be a challenge for some
but not for all. Over two dozen students
gathered with a few adults at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Burns Flat
to go out into the community to collect food to begin the fall food
drives. This event was sponsored by
Scout Troop 310 but truly was a community event because of the student
involvement.
In less than two hours, food was collected, checked for
expiration dates, and sorted by type.
Food drives at Will Rogers Elementary and the BFDC High School typically
add to this so that the needs of those who might otherwise go without are
met. Participation of the students not
only made the tasks of the morning go quickly, it is also training in service
and helps to promote compassion in the generations to come.
