The stu- dents, Alexa Powers, Chel- sie Lester, Hadley Hold- er, Emma Russell, Alexis Englert, Madison Warner, Morgan Houchins, Jayd- lyn Goeppner and Daisy Iv- ers were part of a group of students participating in a homeless unit sponsored by the IP&L Educator's Grant. These 10 volunteers worked part of the day organizing a food storage unit and then helped feed guests in the af- ternoon. The homeless unit is designed to make the stu- dents and community more aware of how homelessness affects us all. These nine students volunteered be- cause they wanted to make a difference in the world by helping others. It was a won- derful experience, and we hope to return sometime to assist again.
