HELP US FEED THE HOMELESS
GD students are partnering with the Groton Neighborhood Food Project through Loaves and Fishes. They will be collecting nutritious foods and juice boxes for the children of families staying in the temporary homeless shelter established by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency at the Eisengrein Community Center in Devens. Homeless families from all over may stay for several days and are provided with a place to sleep, meals, medical care, and other important resources. We would greatly appreciate it if you are able to collect and donate. There will be a donation box outside the main office when we return from break. The donated items will be delivered on March 4th.Thank you!
