Bethlehem at CES!

Bethlehem Volunteers

Around 50 volunteers came out and donated their time at Minneapolis's Community Emergency Services (CES). They worked hard at the CES food shelf to organize and put donated food away. Volunteers came in all ages with everyone giving their all to help with the tasks. For more information on the work being done by CES please visit their website.
