For Easter, the students assembled Easter baskets that they delivered to the children who are currently living in the CODA facility. 

In addition to the local issues of domestic violence, the students have also recently learned about the problem of human trafficking.  To help raise awareness of this terrible practice, the students sold bracelets and presented a $200 check to Hope For Justice (www.hopeforjustice.org)
