Charles Drew Transition School celebrated a heartwarming event this week, thanks to the generosity of Saint John's Resort, which partnered with the school to provide a bountiful taco bar feast. The entire school community, from students to staff, enjoyed a delicious meal together during the event, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories. In an extra touch of kindness, there was even enough food for everyone to take meals home, ensuring the joy extended beyond the school walls. This gathering highlighted the power of community-focused efforts to make a meaningful impact, especially when thoughtful resources are allocated to nourish people instead of contributing to waste.

A special acknowledgment goes to Sally, who played an essential role in coordinating this food rescue mission. Her dedication helped transform what could have been excess food into a memorable experience for Charles Drew's students and staff. The event underscored the potential of food rescue partnerships to support local schools, promote sustainability, and foster a sense of unity. Events like these are a testament to what can be achieved when local organizations come together with a shared purpose—building their community in ways that are as impactful as they are fulfilling.
