Students and families of St. Ambrose School, Old Bridge, and the Home School Association, hosted a food drive with the help of the parish chapter of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Food and household items were collected and organized into baskets with plans for distribution prior to Thanksgiving to families in need. Students in the school’s S.I.G.N. (Service in God’s Name) program will assist.
HSA president, Kathleen Vitale, explained the food drive coincides with the spirit of giving during the fall season. “Students are very thankful for all they have, so we like to give back, especially during the Thanksgiving season. God has blessed all of us in so many ways, so it is our responsibility and calling to give back to those in need whenever and however we can.”
