SUMMARY: Seniors at a high school completed a service project by collecting items like toothbrushes, food, and clothing for the homeless community in Golfport. Organized by four seniors, the project took two weeks to gather donations from their classmates. They partnered with Inside Out Outreach, an organization that helps the homeless along the Gulf Coast. Jod Couch, a board member, highlighted the need for housing and community support in Golfport. The seniors’ efforts were praised for bringing attention to the needs of the homeless and showing that the community is not invisible. This project was seen as a way for the seniors to give back to a community that has supported them throughout the years. You can donate to Inside Out Outreach on Facebook to further support their cause.

On Friday, a group of seniors at Biloxi High School completed a service hours project by giving back to those who need it most.
