The youth of St. Philips took to the community streets today to show support and rake leaves. "Drive By Raking" is a service project; the youth group surprises members of the community by raking their yards. People are chosen to be Drive by Raking victims because they have recently suffered a loss or tragedy, and the youth pick up rakes to show them how much we care.

Everyone was surprised to look out and see a group of young people raking their lawns. But we were surprised, too: several times, hot chocolate and cookies were brought out as a thank you!

The activity was a great success. Six groups of youth raked twenty-four yards. And gained a whole new appreciation for leaf blowers.
