Our CLV Upward Bound students put in some work today helping distribute food to our community. Despite the heat, they worked hard and did a great job to close out our summer activities!

CLV Upward Bound students showed up today to help distribute food to our community and to end our summer activities! A big thanks to Shepherd’s Heart for all they do for our community!

It was well over 100 degrees this afternoon, but that didn't stop our Connally Cadets from giving 100 percent to help their community!

We are very proud of the work that our students and staff put in to help with today's food distribution. We are thankful for all that Shepherd's Heart does to support our community.

We make a pretty great team!
