Serve-a-Thon ... a Success!

This past week, each class at Lakewood Christian School spent the week involved in different community service projects. We were privileged to have 2 different classes help at Shared Blessings. Mrs. Daniels 4th grade class spent 3 hours working on-site helping with nutrition club bags, sorting clothes, hanging clothes, as well as helping people check-out. The students did a great job!

Mrs. Findley's K-5 class took part in a book drive. They gathered over 500 books to donate to Shared Blessings. Now, every child that comes through will have the opportunity to pick out a book and take home with them. Our children's area is called The Lena Thomas Children's Library. It is named after a very precious woman who volunteered at Shared Blessings and dreamed of providing a place for kids to play and read. That dream is now a reality!

The serve-a-thon event served as a fundraiser for the school but the greater good was probably each student getting the opportunity to be involved in ministries throughout the community. We applaud the school for seeing how important serving truly is and committing the whole school to that endeavor.

Shared Blessings continues to strive to be a place where everyone can get involved in serving others, whether by hands-on service or through the donating of funds. When we work together, so much can be accomplished.
