Group Service Projects brought together 62 resident volunteers of all ages.<br />
Residents volunteered with Feed My Starving Children to pack food for<br />
children in third-world countries, organized shelves and assembled furniture<br />
at Habitat for Humanity ReStore, packed emergency food bags for local<br />
families with United Food Bank, and assisted families at Phoenix Rescue<br />
Mission’s Winter Celebration event. Additionally, 39 teen volunteers assisted<br />
children with games, crafts and activity stations at signature community<br />
events including Eggstravaganza, Spooky Carnival and Winter Celebration.<br />
