 Bags of Hope Filled with Love

This is the third year the students and staff at St. Matt’s ran a school-wide collection to help those in need of basic necessities. The students, collected, counted, kept inventory, and organized all the donations. They then filled each and every bag with love and items such as: socks, hats, gloves, blankets, washcloths, and toiletries.
