Donations have been dropped off at several community organizations helping the needy
École secondaire catholique Champlain students raised $3,500 in donations and non-perishable food items for the needy during its 13th annual Homeless for a Night activity.
With only cardboard boxes and tarps for shelters, the 90 Chelmsford students were able to experience the reality of being homeless Oct. 4.With the funds and donations raised, the school was able to give back to four community organizations. ÉSC Champlain recently donated hygiene products and undergarments to Sudbury Women's Centre, some 20 boxes of food items to the Chelmsford Food Bank, baby formula and diapers to the Sudbury Infant Food Bank and winter socks and boots to the Elgin Street Mission.
"The Homeless for a Night activity is very important for our students because it gives them an opportunity to learn about homelessness and make a difference in their community,” said Angèle Carr, Principal at École secondaire catholique Champlain. “Through this community involvement initiative, Champlain students help organizations that provide important support to people in need.”
