St. Stan’s students collect turkeys, canned items, and pies to benefit North Brooklyn Angels and Trinity Human Services
By Donna DeLuca
Students at St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Academy (SSKCA) will dedicate their efforts to provide Thanksgiving to those in the community lacking means. The students will participate in variety of service projects, on Friday, November 17 and Monday, November 20.
November 17: SSKCA will collect cans and packaged items to be used as Thanksgiving side dishes at the school. Bring your cans and shelf-stable food to 12 Newel Street, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Food collected will be boxed up by students and delivered by student council members, eighth-grade students, Frank Carbone (SSKCA president), and Donna DeLuca (SSKCA director of admissions) to St. Anthony’s (862 Manhattan Avenue). These will be donated to North Brooklyn Angels, a non-profit organization, who does a great deal of outreach to the homeless and families in need in the North Brooklyn community.
November 20: Students and their families will drop off turkeys, pies, and other food items upon arrival at school between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. The school and the SSKCA business manager, Sister Joanne, is coordinating with Sister Victoria from Trinity Human Services; the food will be delivered to Trinity Human Services later that day.
“This project is a wonderful way for our students to learn first-hand the importance of providing service to others and giving to those less fortunate than we are,” said DeLuca. “Our families have been extremely generous and the outpouring of items collected each year has been quite overwhelming and extremely helpful to the community outreach efforts of the organizations we partner with.”
Any leftover food from these service projects will then be donated to Hour House, which is scheduled to stop by the school at 9:30 a.m. on Monday.
