Volunteering on Vacation

Public service in action! Acera School students volunteered over April Vacation with Food Link. An Arlington-based nonprofit, Food Link is the bridge between distributors and farms that have the capacity to donate fresh surplus food and community organizations that seek nutritious food for people who are in need. The group brings together volunteers, programs, and clients to improve the community. Over 250 Food Link volunteers work together to rescue food and bring it to community organizations in the area.  Students spent a full day loading the van, sorting food, composting, and cleaning up after a busy day of food rescue. Great job, Acera!
