On this beautiful Saturday in March the kids at West Fresno's Saturday Sports went on a "field trip" and walked a few blocks for a tour of the local Recyling Center.

More than 200 people from Clovis Hills and El Encino spent the weekend serving the neighborhood surrounding Sequoia Middle School.
Saturday started out a little wet but God stopped the rain just long enough for the work to be done! Some people dressed for the weather, others got very creative!
