Keep Austin Warm
Last year while driving around Austin during the holiday season, 7th grader, MacKenzie Bradley, developed an idea to help the homeless community. While Mackenzie's family was stopped at a light, a homeless family approached her mother asking what the weather was going to be like in the next couple of days. This short, yet meaningful moment gave MacKenzie the vision of developing a blanket drive at Lago Vista Middle School.
Last year, our school collected close to 20 blankets for the homeless, which MacKenzie and her family then delivered to needy people of the area. The "2nd Annual Blanket Drive" will begin after the Thanksgiving break and will run until December 17th. I believe we can double the amount of blankets we raised last year. Let's make the holidays warm for many.
