Saturday, November 22, that was the day that a group of teens attended the Homeless Voice Institution in Broward. Thirty Felix Varela High School DFY-IT members stopped their crazy teen schedule to Cook and Serve a Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner for nearly 200 members of the institution.

What was started as a huge can food drive had ended in a delicious menu all cooked and prepared from scratch, by teens. Baked Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Corn, Mash Potatoes, Chicken, and different variety Pies, were just some of the dishes prepared. As if that weren’t enough, the dishes were extraordinary to the point where everyone was overjoyed and thankful.

DFY-IT President, Cristopher Valdes (17 yrs), said:"I am very glad that there is an organization such as DFY-IT that motivates and gives us the tools and opportunity to be able to help everyone around our community by making an impact in it such as the one that we made in the Homeless Voice."

One thing is for sure, the Homeless Voice Institution will never forget the fantastic job that Varela's DFY-IT organized for them.

They accomplish that by providing drug information, as well as opportunities to learn leadership skills through community service activities and educational (but fun!) field trips. Staff Writer
