On a blazingly sunny afternoon last week, in the parking lot of Temple Beth Hillel, about 30 third-graders from Campbell Hall School set about packing 100 food bags for the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry, a charity Patch has reported on many times.
This day was the culmination of a weeklong, schoolwide food drive, during which the kids collected nearly 800 pounds of groceries.
The students were from the school's Roots and Shoots troop, the Earth Savers.
“We’ve done a food drive every year,” said Jan Weiss, co-leader of the Earth Savers. “Our group…started in first grade. So this group of 8- and 9-year-olds have been very busy the last three years.”
Roots and Shoots is the youth program of the Jane Goodall Institute, with thousands of members all over the world. The organization is devoted to doing community service, preserving the environment and learning about animals.
The dedicated activists in the Earth Savers troop participate every week in a project designed to make the world a better place.READ THE WHOLE STORY HERE:
