Recently, SPARC members along with Mineola High School partook in a youth board meeting at the INN. There the members were assigned a variety of tasks from clothes, food, and toiletry sorting. SPARC members spent most of their time sorting clothes like pants, shirts, shoes, and accessories into bags. These clothes were donated by people in the neighborhood and will go to those who can not afford new clothes. The INN is a nonprofit organization that addresses the issue of hunger and homelessness in the surrounding neighborhood. They recruit volunteers from nearby schools and towns to help provide necessities to those who need it the most. For the SPARC members, it was once again a meaningful and memorable trip as they continue to look forward to the next one. And thank you to Mineola for making this trip a huge success!
