Since 1995, members of New Hope’s Key Club have been donating their time, energy, and money to Adopt-A-Child for the holidays. In the first year of participating in this rewarding program only 50 children were sponsored and adopted, but this year that number has grown to over 240 children.
On Dec. 13, people in the community, including parents and students, dropped off their gifts for the children in need. Members of the Key Club helped to greet those making donations, checked-in gifts, bagged them, loaded them onto the truck, and dropped them off at Fisherman’s Mark in Lambertville, NJ.
“It’s extremely rewarding to see how involved the students are and how they enjoy helping children in need.” Mrs. Schwander, an adviser to the program, said.
In addition to Key Club helping, sports team like baseball also stepped up to help donate their time. Students worked well together to get the gifts ready with holiday music playing and cookies to snack on.
After the gifts were dropped off and bagged, three full truckloads of gifts were brought to Fisherman’s Mark who deliver the gifts to the children.
