Our last Student Trip of the year was a City Serve which had students from the Jesuit H.S. partner with CityTeam Portland to help with their Love Your Neighbor Event. (LYN)

The morning started with students on a walk about distributing Coffee & Doughnuts to our neighbors on the street and inviting them to the event.

LYN is a block party held once a month by City Team with a hot meal, hair cuts, clothing distribution, foot care and more. The students help set up, clean up and run stations.

They also got to hear a lot of testimonies from guys in the program, learn about City Teams approach and help set up their emergency shelter for that evening.

The students ended with a litter clean up of the area ensuring that City Team remains in good relations with their neighbors.
