Project United, organized by the United Way of Western Kentucky, is an annual community-wide day of service. Each year, the Mustang Youth Services Center brings a group of students to participate and volunteer their time. This year, the students were placed at Hope Unlimited Family Care Center. They enjoyed a day filled with meaningful activities, including a tour of the Center, learning about the impactful work of Hope Unlimited, and lending a hand by ironing tablecloths for their fundraising Gala and organizing diaper bags. MCHS takes pride in giving back to the community and looks forward to this event every year. #opportUNITY #McCrackenProud
