Tonight we are helping Food n the Hood. The money gained from our shoe sales is used to purchase food for those in need. It is set up like a grocery store with people choosing what they need.
A catered meal is provided before they shop. We have been helping with the grocery carts, restocking, interacting with people, and loading cars.
Every event they give a week's worth of groceries for over 150 individuals.
