Tackling Hunger at Lenski

          

     This October, Lenski is partnering with the Broncos Tackle Hunger Team in an ambitious effort to feed hundreds of hungry families in metro Denver. Lenski students have the opportunity to serve our community by donating nonperishable food items. Parent volunteers are needed 2-3 times/week throughout October to prepare items for delivery. If you have a spare hour to help, please check out the volunteer signup link which will appear in next week's Wednesday announcements.
