During the last few weeks before break, our students decided on a project to give to those in need during the holidays. The Sunshine Farm decided to give locally to the Second Harvest Food Bank. We had been inspired by the work of a family in our class that gives their time and energy to this cause daily. Our parent who works for Second Harvest Food Bank here in Jacksonville came and presented information that inspired us to give out of our pantries and our hearts. We learned that in area that their food bank services about 300,000 people are "food insecure" or are not sure where their next meal will come from.
Our class as well as another two classes responded to this need and raised a tremendous amount of food in only a little over a week. With our food drive we were able to provide almost 200 meals with close to that many pounds in food! Way to go Sunshine Farm!
