RCS Eighth Graders Volunteer at the Food Bank for Westchester

Last week a group of RCS eighth grade students spent their Friday afternoon at the Food Bank for Westchester in Elmsford, New York. 
Students helped sort, organize, and pack donated non-perishable food items. They also had the opportunity to take a tour of the large facility. They learned about food insecurity in our communities and social justice issues specific to access to fresh food and produce for all socioeconomic classes. Students began to break down their stereotypes of hunger issues in the county and think critically about solutions to these complex issues. The student volunteers recognize the importance of stepping outside the RCS community and learning about others within our own local community.
