Winter Term Lends a Hand at Local Food Pantry

Our Humanities tutor Karen Armstrong helped us organize a really fun volunteer opportunity for the crew today. We had some time before training, so we all hopped in the van to grab the bread and baked good deliveries to bring to the local Lake Placid Food Pantry. With so many hands, loading up all of the donated food was a breeze and it was great to see how products make their way into the local Pantry.

With a pretty hectic schedule, it's easy to forget about the world beyond ski racing and outside of the Training Center. Hundreds of local families utilize the local Food Pantry each month, and given the recent frigid temperatures and high heating costs, items aren't staying on the Pantry shelves for long.

Nice work, team.
