A group of high school students is giving back to the community by beautifying our city. The teens are from St. Jude Youth Ministry in Fort Wayne.

They are spending three days in South Bend on a mission trip doing projects like fixing landscaping, and they painted two murals on Miami Street.

"Oh, I just really love to seeing all the projects start to finish and being able to see how much it affects the community and just being able to see how happy it makes people, and just makes me feel like really good and help me grow closer in my faith," said Lillian Pflueger.

The containers they painted the murals on were used to store supplies and other items during the pandemic.
