Three Warsaw teenagers have decided to use part of their Christmas vacation to help others.

Lindsey Bruner, Trenton Porter and Brooklynne Slabaugh, all 14 years old and all eighth-graders at Edgewood Middle School, are volunteering at Our Father's House and the Animal Welfare League.

The three friends are all members of the Junior National Honor Society, which calls for students to get involved in community service.

At Our Father's House the teens unloaded food supplies and helped organize clothing and shoes. At the AWL, they walked animals.

"It was a lot of fun. I liked the animal shelter a lot," said Bruner, who added that her cousin is the AWL director.

A lot of students from Edgewood volunteer time in various ways in the community, Bruner said, and they enjoy it as well.

"People should know that volunteering isn't all work and can be fun," she said.

Bruner, Porter and Slabaugh plan to continue their volunteer activities after the holidays. [[In-content Ad]]
