Learning how it works!

Today’s guest blogger is Tessa Burleson, a High School Science Teacher at Union Academy in Monroe, NC

Union Academy 4-H/FFA students were given the opportunity to pack meals for Servants With a Heart in May 2024. This opportunity provided our students with valuable lessons about the agriculture industry as well allowing them to help those in need.

The students learned about the process of procuring the supplies needed for the rice packages, where the commodities were grown and the process of shipping the meal boxes worldwide. Students were able to get hands-on experience packaging meals while giving back to the community through their service.

Our students truly enjoyed learning about the "behind the scenes" work of SWH and were very grateful to know that they were helping others in need!
