In addition to mentoring students at Delbarton School in New Jersey, Abbot Giles Hayes has founded numerous social justice and community services programs at the school. Abbot Giles Hayes encourages students to feel compassion for their fellow human beings and “put the other guy first.”
In its most recent community support effort, Delbarton celebrated its 75th Anniversary by launching a food drive and setting an ambitious goal of collecting 75,000 pounds of food for local soup kitchens and food banks. The Campus Ministry team organized the effort and initiated the food drive at the school’s Homecoming event, where students donated canned items such as soup, sauces, and vegetables. After the Homecoming food drive, Delbarton donated the collected food to the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains.
The school will host a number of additional food drive events in order to reach its goal of 75,000 pounds of donated food. As the school notes, that amount is equal to approximately 37 tons of food, or the combined weight of around 300 professional football players.
