A good number of people who typically volunteer and donate to our charity have, likewise, pitched in and supported our ongoing 'Winter Wear' drive. We have already delivered over 250 coats to deserving CPS schools. More will follow in the coming days.
One is never to young to join in on the spirit of aiding a cause and people in need. Such is the case with two young students at Hinsdale Central High School. Both Will Schneider, a senior, and Allison Gelman, a sophomore have helped us collect coats.
Allison collected five full bags of coats while Will collected three big bags. I met these two individuals while speaking to the HC Habitat for Humanity meeting in early November. Since that time, both individuals made contact with me and offered to help with the coat collection.
Both individuals found their own way to collect coats. Allison generated her large contribution by turning to the congregants at her Temple while Will worked his family, friends, and the surrounding neighborhood for donations.
They came through in a big way. That's no surprise for these two individuals. Both are active at Central. Will is an active member of Habitat for Humanity and is a member of the varsity lacrosse team. Allision is involved in a number of groups who assist others. She is a member of Clubs that Care and is heavily involved in Peer Leadership. Allision is also a member of the lacrosse team at Central.
Kudo's to Will and Allison for stepping up and finding a way to help Schools Count Crop keep students warm as the cold of winter sets in.
Many thanks!
Dick
