Today Torres held a drive thru hot dog lunch for our school families and local community members. We even expanded our program as a "meals on wheels", and sent teams of teachers out to our neighborhoods to provide meals for those unable to leave home due to transportation issues.
All the food/drinks were donated, along with BBQ pit, ice, & charcoal, and we had many wonderful volunteers help cook/prepare bags. Our school was able to provide lunch to restoration crews who have been working in the building. We were also able to provide afternoon snack for 120 Boys and Girls Club members.
