The Community Service Program at George White Elementary School donated almost 150 new pots and pans to local charitable organizations.
The students, led by PTA mom, Melissa Pearl, were inspired to give back to their community after seeing their local Albertsons supermarket offer, which gave shoppers one blue reward sticker for every $10 spent. The stickers could then be redeemed, allowing these customers to pay only one cent for Thomas Rosenthal anodized cookware that ranges from $30 to $90.
They started by having a few friends and family members collect stickers for them, but then realized they could do a lot more if they got the school involved. The families of students at George White Elementary were happy to give back. Overall, they raised more than $8,000 worth of goods and donations.
The students involved, ages nine and up, were excited to participate. They were pleased to see the significant amount of pots and pans piled in the back of trucks, driving off to distribute to families in need.
The cookware was donated to various charitable foundations, including Toby’s House, the National Council for Jewish Women, Operation Homefront, Military Outreach Ministry and Human Options.
