As christmas time approaches, it is very upsetting to thing about all the families who are struggling financially. St. Vincent De Paul is a large organization that focuses on a practical approach to dealing with poverty and alleviating its effects on individuals and families through person-to-person contact. During the holiday season it is hard for struggling parents to provide for their families. This is why our school took part in the SVP Hamper Packing. We were split into groups and we has 20 hampers to pack. We filled them with lots of food that we hoped would help these families get through christmas with ease. Later, the fifth years delivered the hampers to the failies and we were told that they were very grateful. This was a very enjoyable experience as it was amazing to give back to our community during a time that is joyous for most but burdensome for others.
