On Monday, Preppers Chris Montie, '16, Pat Gillespie, '16, Brendan Heenan, '16, and Ricky Zheng, '18 shipped out 1100 pounds of food from the Hurtado Food pantry.  Approximately 1051 pounds of food were taken to St. Peter the Apostle, and 120 pounds of apples (which had been donated by the mother's club) were taken to Our Brother's House, an emergency shelter in North Philadelphia, run by the Bethesda Project, that provides shelter to 150 homeless men.
