Doing good; raising funds for school > For a 20th year Faith Christian School students, faculty and staff donated about 2000 volunteer hours in late April at two locations - painting, mulching and cleaning up. Shelly Whitaker was a project manager at Mill Mountain Zoo, where lower school students were doing their part during the annual "Project Faith," event: “We’ve partnered with over 50 organizations in the Roanoke Valley over the last 20 years.” More than 400 took part in Project Faith this year; upper school students did much the same at HopeTree Family Services in Salem. Project Faith was also a school fundraiser and was expected to yield around $160,000. Before the annual community outreach/life lesson event, students at the southwest Roanoke County private school write and send letters to family friends and local businesses, asking for sponsorships.
