CBS Feeds the Poor in Austin
On January 31st , CBS high school campers, summer staff, and full time
directors gathered in downtown Austin to set up the CBS “Mobile Soup
Kitchen” to provide dinner to the hungry
and homeless of Austin. CBS alumni set up tables of hot food, drinks,
and snacks and served 100 people in fellowship until all of the food
had run out.
During
the summer, CBS Leadership Training campers (high schoolers who have
completed the eleventh grade) complete a day of service by taking a
field trip to Austin and setting
up a lunch-time version of this soup kitchen, serving anyone in need
until all food runs out. Campers even serve water to any pets that show
up!
This
night was especially fun, since Austin high school campers
were able to reunite with each other, summer staff members, and full
time Girls Camp Director, Adrienne
Grissom, and share in the experience of giving back to their collective
Austin community.
After serving dinner, the CBS crew retired to owner Christine Baskin’s Austin home to celebrate the birthday of Xena Pierce with cupcakes and a hang out. It was great to reunite with summer friends in the spirit of helping those in need!
