Students Making a Difference:

David Russell, a Brookline high school student, recently volunteered in the Food Pantry.  In addition to his time, David also spent one week of pay from his part-time job to purchase items for the Pantry, plus made a $50 contribution.  Thank you, David.

St. Patrick Family Alternative Program made a unique and needed donation to the Food Pantry.  Ten students put together 25 bags containing personal hygiene items.  They sorted the products, decorated and filled the bags and made cards.  What a wonderful gift for the SHARE pantry shoppers.  Thank you, students, for making people feel special.
