Senior Yousuf Saeed commented, “I’m beyond grateful to have had a group of such genuine, hardworking teammates with me this season. After last year’s heartbreak, we all knew going into the season what we wanted. We put our heads down, worked at it tirelessly, and did it. We brought it home.”

EHS helps the community with annual day of service

IZZIE SONG Staff Writer

EHS held its second annual day of service on February 4, during which students, faculty, and parents devoted their time to organizing food at the Houston Food Bank.

Around a hundred participants spent their day packaging, weighing, and sorting goods to be sent off to areas of Houston dealing with food instability. The boxes they helped make are to be shipped out to low-income families and schools, and the primary job of the volunteers was to guarantee the safety and quality of products.

Houston Food Bank has long worked with Episcopal thanks to its ability to accommodate the large number of students looking to do service. In a state where 20% of its children experience hunger, this non-profit organization seeks to do more than ship out food. They focus on nutritional education and job-training as well in hopes to establish long term food security within Houston families.

EHS students are a part of this mission, even past the annual service days. Opportunities with the Houston Food Bank are available on Helper Helper, an app used by Episcopal’s service achievement program to help bring forward opportuni- ties across the Houston area. To promote this day, members of SOS, Students of Service, helped drum up support and advertise to their peers. The day itself set forward with the intentions of being a community activity, not exclusive to those well versed in service. Families of students were invited as well as EHS faculty members to create a shared experience.

Dan Murphy, a co-director of SOS, helped organize and supervise the event. “I feel like its maybe a lot to ask, but once you get there and do something. You realize you’re sacrificing a tiny little bit for people who are less fortunate,” said Mr. Murphy.

Since service is such a vial and important aspect of the Episcopal Community, many more chances like the annual day of service are soon going to be available to all students at EHS.
