Students Volunteer at The Lamb’s Table By Yonatan Belayhun Volunteering for The Lamb’s Table is a unique experience. Students go to Independence, Virginia to help feed those in need of a meal. Students divide up into groups to meet the needs of the Lamb’s Table volunteers. One group serves the meals to the people while another group packs meals to be taken to shut-ins. About 100 meals are delivered to shut-ins and another 125 meals are served at The Lamb’s Table.
