NCTS Volunteers for Gleaners Food Bank of Indianapolis

NCTS partnered with Gleaners to help fight hunger in Indianapolis. 

 While volunteering, NCTS students worked as a team to package 22,400 pounds of food. 

As a result of this team effort, 560 Indianapolis families will receive care packages from Gleaners. 

"I learned that it is better to think about others before yourself."  -Kourtney

"Volunteering at Gleaners was a lot of work.  We packed enough boxes to feed about 550 families. It was a lot of work, but knowing that I was helping people, made it all worth it.  If we had another chance to volunteer at Gleaners, I would do it again.  I think everyone should visit and volunteer." -Kordell

"This field trip really made me think about what life must be like for working moms.  It must be long and tiring. I am glad I got to help by stocking and lifting boxes of food and preparing the boxes for shipping. The field trip was a great experience."  -Cordell

"Gleaners was a very fun experience, and I hope that one day I can do it all again."  -Cameron

"I had a huge blast on this field trip.  I found it extremely cool that I was helping others and giving back to others! I hope to do this again sometime soon.  Volunteering was a great way to start off this new year, 2014!"  -Victoria
