On Sunday, April 21, MBS students gathered in the Dining Hall, where they made more than 100 bag lunches to help feed those in need through Bridges Outreach.
Students Andi Bergman ’25, Catie Clark ’27, John Degnan ’27, Hannah Kopit ’27, Michael Lattarulo ’27, Alice McNamara ’24, Darius Payne ’26, Maria Pimenta ’27, Elianna Sparkman ’27, and Thomas Tucci ’27 met in the Dining Hall early Sunday morning and prepared the sandwiches and snack bags.
After packing the food, students John Degnan ’27, Alice McNamara ’24, Darius Payne ’26, and Elianna Sparkman ’27 were able to participate in the “Bridges run” with faculty chaperones Andrea Deventer and Katie Pepper to hand-deliver the lunches along with hygiene kits and hot soup to local food and housing-insecure individuals.
MBS participates in three “Bridges runs” a year. Community service is a cornerstone of the Morristown Beard School educational experience, and helps MBS students build character and gain self-confidence on their journey to becoming productive and socially responsible citizens.
Founded in 1988, Bridges reaches out to the homeless in New York City, Irvington, Summit, and Newark every week. To learn more about Bridges Outreach, visit www.bridgesoutreach.org.
