This year our summer outreach for the students at Gargiulo Education Center was a different and wonderful opportunity for our members to put together practical and fun items for the 66 students to use & enjoy.
The leadership team of Ginger Craven, Alison Beckett, Julie English, and Carole Mancini helped our members navigate the very different pandemic-necessitated gathering, dropping-off, and delivering procedures.
Ginger, Alison, Julie, & Ginger‘s husband, Dick, set up the time for members to meet in the parking lot of St. John the Evangelist Church to drop off their bags. Braving the very hot sun, they transferred the contents of those 66 bags into see-through, cellophane bags—all tied up with a ribbon!
On the designated delivery day, Ginger & LOC SWF member, Sharon Gammell met Mary Asta, Gargiulo Education Center Executive Director and placed the bags in the cheery, designated storage spot!
While we weren’t able to see the children’s faces when they received the bags, we are most grateful for the opportunity to surprise the kids with a bag of caring.
