Montini High School Students Help HSP in a Day of Service

          Today a group of nine students from Montini High School gave their time to help HSP prepare for the upcoming Christmas Offering. The students were participating in the Sophomore Day of Service at Montini High School. The sophomore students at the school were divided into groups and each group served at a different site. HSP was blessed to be a recipient of this service day.

          First, the students constructed the boxes we use to hold the non-perishables that we give to impoverished families around Christmas time. Through the Christmas Offering, HSP gives 150 families 3-4 weeks worth of food, including fresh groceries, frozen meat, and non-perishables. Next, the students sorted and took inventory of a bread donation from Pepperidge Farm. This bread will be given to the seniors in the Senior Citizen Project and the families in the Christmas Offering. Lastly, the students helped to organize the warehouse and brought toys from the warehouse to the toy room in preparation for Christmas. The group accomplished quite a lot in the 2 hours they spent volunteering with us, and HSP would like to thank them for their all their great work.
