High School students delivered to-go meals to Urban Housing Solutions residents.
By Arianna Wooten '21
Fifteen members of the High School's Community Service Club prepared 60 to-go meals for the residents of Urban Housing Solutions on Saturday, February 27. Urban Housing Solutions is an affordable housing complex in Nashville where tenants often run low on food and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits toward the end of the month.
Under the leadership of Frederick Rudolph '23, Greta Matthies '22, and Arianna Wooten '21, students were able to remotely prepare dishes that were later assembled into uniform to-go boxes and delivered to Urban Housing Solutions. Also, volunteers wrote and decorated cards for each meal recipient in a joint effort to connect with the Nashville community despite the restrictions mandated by COVID-19.
