December 7 - One of the poorest most needy schools in our city is Fowler Drive Elementary. Compass has partnered with them to help make a difference. We hosted a mobile food pantry and was able to provide much need food parcels for 300 families! Yes, Grandma was quite entertained with all the activity! Here is just a snap shot of this exciting opportunity!
The ladies getting all the paper work in order. Meanwhile the truck was VERY late. We finally got through to the depot and they were loading the truck over thirty minutes after it should have been delivered. Then the driver went to the wrong school... Anyways, the truck was over an hour late and as we waited cars began to line up.
The truck finally arrives!
