It’s beginning to feel like autumn at Jubilee! Thank you to the Society of St. Andrew for donating lots of pumpkins to Jubilee. Some of our After School Program youth have already started painting pumpkins with the help of Liberty University education major volunteers! Pictured here are Jubilee youth and Society of St. Andrew’s Program Coordinator Raymond Ellis. Thank you again to the Society of St. Andrew!

Jubilee's Summer Enrichment Campers and After-School Program youth have enjoyed Jubilee's garden so much this year! They're learning how to grow, harvest, and cook healthy veggies!
