St. Perpetua School in Lafayette, whose motto is "Be the Good," had the privilege of giving back to the community by participating in Monument Crisis Center's food drive this spring during an unprecedented time of need. Families donated non-perishable items, such as pasta, cereal, household essentials and canned food to the center from the end of March through the remainder of the school year. Lines at Monument Crisis Center were wrapped around the building when the school delivered food donations. It was a meaningful opportunity for the students and their families to look beyond themselves and serve their community.
Monument Crisis Center is a family resource center that provides food, education and referrals to individuals, families, children and seniors in need. They partner with local organizations to provide resources and services to the community and ensure that 4,000 people don't grow hungry each month. "I am so proud of our school community! While we were trying to adjust to learning academics from home, the best lesson we could teach our children is to assist those in need," said St. Perpetua Principal Karen Goodshaw.
