We have made more jars of jam than we can count! We have also cooked lunch, worked on weeding, planted seeds, worked in the warehouse, started a tie dye project, and more. On a not so fun note, we have said our goodbyes to the Crestview and Mohawk classes. The school year is drawing to a close and so are the classroom visits. Only a few more days left with Leetonia and Salem. Then we will look forward to having all our friends return in the fall for harvest time!

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to me. .....When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me. Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 ~ What can YOU do? | | LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS/EVENTS | If you know of any interesting news or events,
