CCS students give back at Second Harvest
“I took 20 middle and high school students, along with two staff members, to volunteer at Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee,” said Brandon Burley, criminal justice instructor and family group leader at CCS. “Our group includes members of the Criminal Justice Society [middle school] and students from the Justice Leadership Academy [high school].
“During our shift in the food bank’s clean room, we repackaged several hundred pounds of bulk cereal into 9.7-ounce bags for distribution to families across East Tennessee,” Burley said. “In one afternoon, our group of 22 provided 88 total volunteer hours.”
“It makes me realize people in our own community are struggling more than we think,” seventh-grader Kate Butler said.
