The Chagrin Falls Schools’ Lady Tigers Basketball Team spent their day off school volunteering at the Food Bank on Tuesday. Teammates participated in repackaging incoming nonperishable, perishable, and non-food donations.
“Volunteering brings the team together, gives them a sense of community, and shows them the positive impact that they can have. There are important lessons that they can learn off the court and it's worthwhile to take the time to do so,” shared Coach Brittany Laseak. “High school sports only last for four years, but the team activities and community impact go beyond their time at CFHS.”
Each year, the girls' basketball team participates in one or two coach coordinated community service projects. This year, the team took the initiative to set up their own project and scheduled a visit to the food bank to volunteer before their afternoon practice.
