Student groups from a variety of programs volunteered on multiple days, dedicating their time to packing food boxes for families in need. In addition to their hands-on efforts, the school community raised an impressive $800 to support CAPK’s ongoing work.
The service project culminated this past weekend with an incredible showing from Liberty students. A combined group of 35 students and 6 adult volunteers from the tennis team and Just Serve came together to assemble pallets of food boxes, contributing to a total of 37 pallets packed by Liberty students this year.
Students shared how impactful the experience was. Backham Davis noted, “It was good to serve the community and so much fun.” Elias Gutierrez added, “It was a wonderful way to spend Saturday morning. I really enjoy giving back to the community.”
Activity Director Brooke Slayton, who helped organize the effort, emphasized the value of the partnership: “CAPK has been a wonderful partner this year. Their friendly staff and wide range of volunteer opportunities have made it easy for students to get involved and make a meaningful impact. Many groups from our campus organized workdays at the food bank warehouse, and several students also took the initiative to volunteer on their own during the monthly Saturday community builds.”
At this week’s closing ceremonies, a CAPK representative attended to personally thank Liberty students for both the funds raised and the many hours spent preparing and loading food pallets for distribution. The recognition served as a powerful reminder that consistent service can create lasting impact.
Community service remains a cornerstone of the Liberty experience. Principal Leandrea Slayton shared, “Service is more than an activity at Liberty, it’s part of who we are. When students give their time and energy to others, they build empathy, leadership, and a lifelong commitment to strengthening their community.”
