This is Mr. Colianni's advisory speaking and we wanted to tell you just a little bit about our service site! Today we spent our time shelving diapers and canned goods! We also put rice and laundry detergent in baggies. Also we bagged bread and panera pastries, while some people helped in handing out the food.  The shelves are unfortunately running low, due to an increase in need and as more people in need learn of our shelf. We are working to see how our school could participate in an effort to donate food and canned goods to the shelf.
