Seattle Waldorf High School food drive for Tent City 3

It is not easy to make a noticeable dent in the homelessness that plagues Seattle, but with the help of the community around you, one can make a difference.

A few months ago, Olivia Dunkley and I set forth to create have a food drive at our school (Seattle Waldorf High School).
With some work, and a lot of help from students, faculty, and parents, the results we had were astounding.

 After a few weeks of the drive, we took the food we collected to Tent City 3. The members accepted our contributions with open arms, and we saw our mission come to an end.
