🍴Rise Against Hunger
Our Langley Pyramid students raised nearly $25,000 in schools with a total of over $35,000 collected as a Langley Pyramid community. We appreciate you taking time this weekend to help Rise Against Hunger.
We had over 350 volunteers in attendance at Colvin Run Elementary School as we packaged 82,000 meals. By working together, we made it possible for nearly 500,000 people to have a meal. We are so proud of your children for their work raising money to help children and families throughout the world.
