How will the project continue on?
We initially wanted to connect Thomas Jefferson High School with The Conscious Alliance through a physical route of taking students to The Conscious Alliance for a pick-a-part day. Pick-a-part days happen about monthly at The Conscious Alliance and they have dry goods anyone can take. We were hoping for to have this physical concrete connection so The Conscious Alliance could help supply the food pantry at Thomas Jefferson High School. Unfortunately, due to issues with transportation and time constraints, this was not possible. We instead connected them via email so they can work together in the future to stock the food pantry. Through a few students and parents that are passionate about the food pantry we hope that they will continue to forge a connection. We gave them all of the information and we also connected The Conscious Alliance with the teachers who run the leadership club at Thomas Jefferson High School, to ensure that next year they will be able to work together in some capacity, even if something falls through.
