Needy benefit from Winsted youth community service

 

In September, Holy Trinity, Winsted 10th graders, Kristin Kahle, Breanna Ollig, Ray Roeges and Bridget Tussing, traveled to the McCleod County Food Shelf in Glencoe to assist in re-stocking the shelves with food as a way to complete service hours.  Holy Trinity High School requires each grade to complete volunteer hours for the community as part of the curriculum.  Student in grades 7-8th must complete 1 hour of service per quarter; 9-10th graders, 2 hours per quarter; and 11-12th graders are required to give four hours of their time per quarter in service to the community. The students volunteered for two hours unpacking boxes and helping to unload a semi-truck full of food for those in need.  Each month, Mr. & Mrs. Wally Kerber to drive the students to the food shelf in Glencoe as they volunteer there as well.
