Softball helps the needy in the community
0Recently, the UPIKE softball team collected canned goods and other products to help the less fortunate for the holidays.
The players spent Monday, Nov. 18 dropping off bags on the front doors of Pikeville homes, with letters attached letting the homeowners know that the bags are for canned foods or any other helpful types of merchandise for the less fortunate. They then set out on Thursday, Nov. 20 to pick up all of the bags and sort the foods, which they delivered to the Westcare homeless shelter on Friday, Nov. 21.
“It is really good to help out the less fortunate. It makes me feel better about myself,” sophomore Lauren Barnes said.
