Wednesday we split into two groups and went to Martha O’Bryan. This center helps empower those who are in poverty to help transform their lives.
The two groups worked in shifts and worked throughout the food pantry helping make cards to go out to seniors, helping individuals and families shop, and also helping pick up sticks around the property.
While one group worked 11AM-1PM, the other group walked around some shops in Nashville. Then the groups switched from 1PM-3PM.
After working, we went for a fun treat at Jeni’s Ice Cream! We enjoyed our dessert and headed over to Centennial Park for some activities to better understand housing injustice. We got to walk around and even see the famous Taylor Swift bench in the park.
It was a great day of helping and learning!
