Youth Service Project: Feeding Hearts & Hands

Last week, our Stake Center was buzzing with energy as over 100 youth and 30 adults gathered for a powerful combined service activity. Working together, they successfully assembled more than 450 snack bags for at-risk youth in our community.

Each bag was packed with care, containing:

Granola bars & crackers
Meat sticks for protein
Dried fruit & cookies
Electrolyte powder for hydration

A Community Effort

This was a JustServe project sponsored by Gathering Humanity, with all materials provided by the Mesa Alma Stake and donations from youth. The impact of this project was felt immediately; when the packages were delivered, the Gathering Humanity team was thrilled with the donation and expressed how much these supplies will bless the lives of local children.

Thank you to every young man, young woman, and leader who dedicated their evening to this cause. It was a wonderful reminder of the power we have when we gather and serve together!
