Calling ALL Epic Students & Staff,

Come join us as Epic Charter School students and staff head to HANDS of HOPE Food and Resource Center in Durant on Tuesday, January 14th for a time of giving back to our community. Volunteers like you are essential to carrying out the mission. Hands of Hope is a non-profit organization whose main vision is to FIGHT HUNGER-FEED HOPE. This service opportunity will allow us to help this program with various needs including sorting & packing produce and canned food, bagging groceries, and helping clients to their cars.
