Props to the student body, staff and family members of the Westside Christian High School for pitching in to help 23 area non-profits as part of their annual Get Out Serve-a-thon. The annual event has generated 22,500 service hours and $260,000 in supplies from the 270-member student body.
They took on all kinds of tasks, things like painting an weatherizing, construction, yard work, even warehouse tasks.
The program is designed to teach kids compassion and it’s going international. About 10% of the money raised this year will be going to KIVA to help finance small business loans in developing nations.
