The St. John's Catholic Church Youth Group saw that there were many families with outstanding lunch ac- counts at the Norwalk Community Schools. They decided to take this on as a project and established a goal to raise money to assist paying for the outstanding lunch accounts. The students hosted a soup supper November 17, that included a free-will offering. Shelli Sherer was an instrumental person in making the soup supper happen. Many of the students spoke before mass and at groups throughout the church to raise awareness of their project and about their soup supper. Through the students' efforts and the generosity of community members, the Youth Group met their target. The Norwalk Community SchOols sends a big THANK YOU :tb eSt. Jghn's Yofi Gr(up for taing on this huge task and to all of those who donated to the cause.
