Student Spotlight: Emberley, Lincoln, and Myles Miller
The three siblings volunteer every Friday morning during the food drive at their church. They bag apples, potatoes, cucumbers, and other produce. Then they get assigned to a specific area of food to hand out and devote two hours to helping load everything into the vehicles that line up for assistance.
Even if it’s cold and rainy, Emberley, Lincoln, and Myles will go out to help people get the food they need for their families. We’re proud they attend Lighthouse Connections Academy. Way to go, team!
