RECAP:
\nThe CAFB Mobile Pantry eve
nt on August 22nd was a great success! Nine ND friends and family work
ed with other volunteers to greet and serve neighbors in need in East
Austin. Held at Givens Park\, the mobile pantry provided clients with
yogurt\, cherries\, onions\, potatoes\, juice\, milk\, canned goods\,
bread and more. Volunteers enjoyed visiting with the clients and the e
nthusiastic CAFB staff. ND alum Karen Shopoff Roof\, summed up the imp
act community service can have when she shared the following.
“\;The boys were surprised by how fast the time went by\, how goo d it felt to help others\, and we’\;ve had lots of good discussio ns about the importance of doing our share to serve our local communit y. There aren’\;t a lot of volunteer opportunities where kids can see directly and interact with the people they are serving. It was a powerful experience for us. They were especially impressed by how many folks came through the line and wanted to take things to share with n eighbors and relatives–\; such an important lesson in sharing wha t you have\, even when you may not have a lot.”\; –\; K.S.R.
\nWe hope you and your family will join us for another event so on!
