Students from Arlington High School’s Interact Club visited the Regional Food Bank of the Hudson Valley for an engaging and meaningful service-learning experience. During their visit, students learned what a food bank is and how it plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families across our community and region.
Students helped sort donated food items into categories while also gaining an understanding of proper food safety practices. This experience not only deepened their awareness of food insecurity, but also highlighted the importance of community service and giving back. This visit was especially impactful as Interact runs the Arlington Food Anchor, a backpack program at the high school, helping to directly support students in need within their own school community.
