Fall Break with Brighter Bites

A group of Southern Methodist University (SMU) students volunteered at an east Dallas Brighter Bites elementary school this week as part of the SMU Alternative Fall Break program. Designed to engage students in direct service with an organization, this program focuses on providing participants with an understanding of the complex issue of poverty. Eight SMU students and their faculty advisor worked with parent and community volunteers to move, bag, and distribute 4300 pounds of fresh produce for the 130 Brighter Bites families at the school. The elementary kiddos were thrilled to see the SMU students walking through their halls that day. Brighter Bites always appreciates community members who volunteer, especially hard working college students. Thanks, Mustangs!
