Students from Dublin Christian Academy recently partnered with a local organization that provides weekend meals to local students in need.
End 68 Hours of Hunger is a nonprofit organization that serves children who do not have reliable access to meals between the time they leave school on Friday and return on Monday morning — 68 hours. DCA students collected, boxed and delivered enough food to provide weekend meals for the nearly 200 children in the program.
All students in preschool through 12th grade had a role in the service project. Each class had a different job in preparing food boxes for local students. Kindergarten and Lower School students packed boxes with food and prepped tags for the bags. Junior high and ninth- and 10th-graders assembled and packed bags, and the seniors delivered the boxes to the distribution center at South Meadow School.
This service project was sponsored by Belletetes, Sysco, Heart Line Stove Shop, Tru-Form Foundations, Inc., Hutter Construction Corporation, Northstone Builders LLC, Morello Construction, Life Changing Radio – Deborah and Bill Blount, Versa-Lok, Laser Pro Foundations, Northern Undercoatings LLC, Massage by Winona, Bridgewater Farm Supply, Menadena Letourneau Heating & Cooling LLC and Athens Pizza.
