Our project aims to engage the teens in the community by offering them a hands-on opportunity to serve the homeless and those who are less fortunate. During this service we will supervise the teenagers as they prepare and serve the homeless a hot meal, snack bags, survival kits, assist with haircuts, the HOPEFUL Clothes Closet, fit them a pair running shoes, and hand out resource books. As we grow each year it is our desire to take on more teens and add components that will enhance our project and this year will be no different. This year we plan to have performers to entertain the community as well as having someone to come out and educate the community, teens included, on human trafficking. We have also implemented teen project managers who will assist us with planning the entire event. We believe that by providing these services to the homeless that we are meeting their basic needs and educating our teens on the importance of serving others.
