Marist students mixing ingredients to make meatballs for the homeless

Marist Youth and the SADD club served meals to the homeless on MLK Day at Alive Church in Oak Lawn. Mr. Brennan led a group of 40 students which was a mix of all year levels. The students cooked the food in the cafeteria here at Marist and then delivered it to the church where the less fortunate were served later that evening.

“We just wanted to help folks, Marist has a culture of service. We felt it would be a good way to serve some people,” said Brennan.

Brennan expressed that these experiences can be beneficial because it sheds a light on how fortunate Marist students are to be able to help others.

“We all learned how fortunate we are to have the things we have and be blessed the way we are,” he said.
