The First Light Campus of St. James Episcopal Preschool recently took a field trip to AMEN Food Pantry and left behind something valuable – produce. The preschoolers have been growing vegetables in a raised garden since school began in September as part of a volunteer and community program pioneered by Director Anna Hegar. The children learn gardening skills with the help of volunteer Shannon Ezer, who comes once per week to share her talents and grow young minds—and veggies. Since the harvest was plentiful, the students and staff decided to share with their neighbors, and took produce and non-perishable donations to AMEN Food Pantry, where they got to tour the facility and learn what a food pantry does. Pictured are the staff and students at First Light Campus with AMEN Food Pantry Staff.
