On Thursday, June 6, students, parents, friends, and neighbors impacted thousands of people in Pottstown and Haiti. West-Mont wrapped up their month-long Feed the Need fundraiser with an energetic, all-hands-on-deck day of service.

Starting at 9 a.m., approximately 200 staff and students packaged 10,000 meals that will benefit hungry families locally and around the world. 

This meal-packing day was a fantastic opportunity for students to celebrate the end of the school year while enjoying serving others. From the youngest preschoolers to the soon-to-be-graduating seniors, the entire school community lent a hand by feeding the need! Staff and students also had a celebratory Chick-Fil-A lunch and a special visit from the Chick-Fil-A cow mascot.

This meal-packing day was the grand finale of a month-long process of fundraising and acquiring sponsorships. 

West-Mont Christian Academy is excited to serve the community and inspire students of all ages to do so. Thank you to the Corporate sponsors for Feed the Need: Jiffy Lube, Mishock Physical Therapy & Associates, Sanatoga Corporation, Grace Covenant Church, Hand & Stone Massage & Facial Spa - Oaks, Heritage Bible Church, LaFayette Welding Inc, Penny's Pizza, and Restoring Hope, Child and Community.

West-Mont strives to equip students to find their place in God’s story. An important part of this is giving students opportunities to become leaders and Godly examples through community service like Feed the Need.
