Special thanks to the Developing Leaders who participated in a community service project in October. Partnering with The Y to support NourishUp, volunteers helped distribute food to local communities in need. They packed large quantities of donated food into individual boxes and handed them out to cars in a drive-through line. It was a fantastic experience!
