Grays Harbor Students Serve Homeless Community

By Adria Hay, May 01, 2018

Grays Harbor Adventist Christian School students prepared meals for the homeless in Grays Harbor County, Wash., this past winter.

With the coordination and assistance from their teacher, Adria Hay, and classroom aides Michelle Schneider and Katrina Kurtz, students prepared peanut butter sandwiches and lentil soup.

Grays Harbor Adventist Christian School was recently awarded a Don Keele Award for home economic supplies. With the new supplies, the school will be able to extend their community outreach projects.

Students hope to do more outreach projects for their community in the future.
