In a heartwarming display of community spirit and generosity, Crestwood Middle School’s student council successfully delivered 38 baskets filled with essential items to local families in need during the Thanksgiving season. The effort, which aimed to provide comfort and support to those facing challenges, was met with gratitude and emotion.
“We are so thankful for the outpouring of support,” said Dr. Sheena Powell, co-advisor of the Crestwood student council. “Seeing the reactions of the families as they received the baskets was incredibly moving. Some were so touched that it almost brought me to tears. This is just the beginning, and I truly believe this can become an annual tradition for our community. We’re hopeful this initiative will continue to grow and inspire others to give back, creating a lasting impact on our community.”
The baskets were carefully prepared to ensure they included items that would be most helpful to the recipients, bringing much-needed relief during difficult times. From food and household essentials to personal care items, the baskets were designed to alleviate some of the burdens many families face. The delivery process itself was a meaningful experience for volunteers and families alike, with everyone involved feeling a deep sense of connection and shared purpose.
With the success of this delivery, the student council plans to make this an ongoing initiative and is already looking ahead to next year’s efforts, aiming to expand their outreach and provide even more support to families in need. To get involved, call Crestwood Middle School at (561) 753-5000.
