Continuing the Trend: Micah 6

Texas Spirits has been volunteering at Micah 6 food pantry on Saturdays for some time, but this semester they decided to volunteer on Thursdays as well. Micah 6 is a place that allows people who cannot necessarily afford their own groceries to come in once a week and pick up food. What makes Micah 6 different from other food pantries is the fact that the people are allowed to shop for their own groceries and pick what they would like instead of being handed a box of food pre-chosen for them. Typical tasks for Texas Spirits at Micah 6 include helping people carry their groceries and putting them into grocery bags. Volunteers are an integral part of what keeps Micah 6 running every week and Texas Spirits really enjoys serving this part of their Austin community.
