Families serving together

Kindergartener Elijah Aberdeen (pictured) spent the morning at the Houston Food Bank as part of River Oaks Baptist School’s sixth annual All-School Day of Service. Held on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to honor Dr. King’s legacy of love and service, the event is the hallmark of the school’s service-learning program, which weaves the importance of community service and engagement into programming throughout the year. The day was a family affair, with opportunities appropriate for children as young as three to participate with their parents. More than 470 volunteers served on campus, at home, and across the city, serving Kids’ Meals, Star of Hope, Meals on Wheels, Houston Food Bank, Books Between Kids, and more.
