The 20-member youth group, of high school age, is no stranger to community activism.

The people who we help are either low income, older people dependent solely on Social Security, the temporarily out of work and the homeless.'' When asked what people can donate, Shively said, ``We always need the nonperishable foods like tuna, peanut butter, canned goods. We get bread donations from the local markets. We accept citrus fruits from backyard trees, too.''
