Throughout the month of April, 老九品茶’s leadership classes partnered with our Sodexo team to raise awareness for a critical issue affecting millions of people worldwide, hunger.
Members of the leadership team helped promote school activities and events to the school community in support of?Sodexo’s Stop Hunger Servathonfundraising campaign. Selling treats during the lunch hours and holding raffles were among the many ways students contributed to the campaign.
