A delegation of Broncos, accompanied by Drew Rau ’02 and Heather Chapman, Brophy Community Foundation operations manager, wrapped up an amazing trip this summer to Bellingham, Wash., to participate in the Ignite program. Alongside five other Catholic schools/parishes, they learned how to effectively community organize by participating in workshops and immersing themselves in the reality of farmworkers. Together, they set up a food bank that served 600 farmworker families, providing free food and clothes. They even got their hands dirty, harvesting over 200 pounds of kale at a local farm. Let’s hear it for our Broncos making a difference!
