Thanks to these 4th graders at Hillside School in Hastings on Hudson, New York, two local food pantries are happily well stocked with personal care items! As members of the student council, the kids and their teacher organized a drive for the everyday personal care basics that can’t be purchased with SNAP (food stamps) by families in need. They drive yielded enough complete sets of shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, soap, and body wash for more than 60 struggling Hastings and Dobbs Ferry families.
