We are so proud of our teens that attended the Servant Leadership Conference for 9/11 Day. Delegations from across the state collected over 1,000 items to donate to a local food pantry in Apopka. A huge shoutout to the Suncoast delegation for bringing the most items!!

Not only that, they got their hands dirty and planted a butterfly garden for a local elementary school nature club! The elementary schoolers will use the garden to learn about plants, caterpillars, and how they turn into butterflies.

We cannot wait to hear about all the things these servant leaders accomplish in their local chapters. by @floridayig
