Students have an opportunity to make a difference in the issue of kids' hunger in their community. Students give their time to make trail mix, which they donate to a local agency (such as Kids Food Basket in Grand Rapids, MI). Also, students represent collected data using a bar graph and practice communication and letter-writing skills as they reflect and write a letter describing the event of making trail mix.

Service Experience

Students use a recipe to create and package trail mix. Then, they pack the trail mix in small self-sealing baggies. The baggies are delivered to a local community agency to distribute to hungry families. Optional: students may be involved in selecting the agency, holding a fundraiser to purchase the ingredients, or donating ingredients with their own money.
