Opportunities for Kindness
Community Hygiene Drive
We are thrilled to share some exciting news! The Community Engagement Class at AWHS is working alongside neighborhood bridges on a new project aimed at supporting our AW families. A huge thank you to Waterville Community Church (WCC) for providing us with a much-needed space to store and distribute frequently requested items, and to pack our weekend food bags. Having this home base is invaluable!
Please check out the lists below for items we are currently requesting. Donations can be dropped off at WCC (8217 Dutch Rd., Waterville) – just mention neighborhood bridges – or ordered online and shipped to WCC in care of neighborhood bridges. More details about this wonderful new effort will be coming soon, and we are so grateful to Mr. Zemanski's class for initially assisting in getting our shelves stocked!
