GREENSBORO — St. Pius X students recently spent a remarkable couple of weeks focusing on hunger prevention efforts – including collecting hundreds of cans in a “Hearty Soup Drive,” creating “blessing bags” containing snacks and water to give to the hungry and homeless around Greensboro, and making prayer cards to lift the spirits of the needy.
In addition to these tangible efforts, it was heartwarming to hear in-class discussions about feedings the hungry and about helping others. In Mother Teresa’s words, “Love is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same – with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead.”
Representatives from Greensboro Urban Ministry remarked that they felt “truly blessed” by the generosity of St. Pius X School families.
The school capped off its current hunger awareness campaign with a school-wide CROP Walk.
