EXTON MLK DAY OF SERVICE PROJECT
Get ready! It's time for our fifth service project! This year’s project will support the Fostering Hope Supply Closet. Fostering Hope is a 501(c)(3) organization that serves foster families in Southeastern PA. A new chapter will be opening in Chester County. Donations are being requested to help stock their supply closet. In an effort to involve the entire school community/families, each grade level has been assigned specific donations. As well, students will be writing inspirational messages/affirmations to place in bags provided to children when going into foster care. Student Council will sort and pack the donations on January 16th.
