❤️ Community Helping Community! ❤️
Today, volunteers came together for a Generosity Feeds Meal Creation Event, packaging 3,000 meals to help fight child hunger locally.
This impactful event was organized by Goochland High School senior Sophia Weller as part of her senior project, and we are so proud of the leadership and service she demonstrated.
A special thank you to our amazing partners who helped make this event possible:
👏 Goochland Rotary Club
👏 Backpacks of Love
👏 Goochland High School Interact Club
👏 The Replenish Foundation
Together, we are making a difference for Goochland families. ❤️💛🐾

We loved seeing these Roadrunners go all out for Kindness Spirit Week. From working out problems in jerseys to dreaming of kindness in their PJs, these students proved that being kind is always a win. Way to lead by example, Randolph! 💚💛
