BRAVA & BRAVO FOR THE PERISHABLE FOOD RESCUE TEAM! On the first day of Spring 2020, during four laborintensive hours, a group of dedicated volunteers quickly gathered and packed perishable food from Booker T. Washington Middle School’s cafeteria, promptly distributing it via the Outcast Food Network and the Ruth Kirk Recreation Center. Mariel Pfister, LCSW-C, Promise Heights’ Community School Director at Booker T. Washington Middle School led volunteers, afterward sharing that, “it was inspiring to work along with folks that show up for others even in the most uncertain of times, and it’s nice that the milk didn’t go to waste and actually went somewhere where it was needed. I guess it’s true what they say—it takes a village to move a mountain of milk.” The “Save the Perishables” Team (Image credit: Nick Schauman)
