November Was Full of Giving Thanks and Volunteerism
Youth celebrated the month by giving back any way that they could! We started the month with our final fundraiser of the year by painting faces at the Charleston Farmer's Market. We then partnered with the College of Charleston and the Lowcountry Food Bank to sort and bag over 2,000 pounds of apples! We finished the month by volunteering with the Basket Brigade. There was a total of 15 youth who gave 59 volunteer hours during the month of November!
