Astros pack food to ship to Afghanistan

NHS, Leo Club, Student Council

Students from three different organizations from Shepard High School volunteered late on a school night to help feed the world’s poor.

Shepard teachers and students from National Honor Society, Leo Club, and Student Council traveled to Aurora to pack meals at the charity Feed My Starving Children. They packed 45 boxes of food that will ship to Afghanistan.

They waited to leave until some of students finished participating in after school activities.

“The kids stayed after practices, play rehearsals, cheer tryouts and postponed homework to volunteer for an amazing cause,” said NHS faculty co-sponsor Erin Quinlan.
