For the past seven years the elementary service
learning students collect gifts for needy families
within the community. Students write letters to
businesses asking for donations. They also write
letters to several organizations like 4H, Boy Scouts,
National Honor Society, and churches to see if they
would be willing to sponsor a family. Lists are
made and sent to the sponsors. The gifts are
collected and wrapped by the students. Each
participating family is provided with bags of
wrapped items for the children. This project is done
with the assistance of the local food pantry and
churches. This year, 33 families with 98 children
were served.
