Bay Ridge
Sending relief
After hearing what Hurricane Matthew did to Haiti — the mega storm decimated nearly 80 percent of homes leaving more than 176,000 persons displaced and homeless as well as countless lives lost — the students at St. Anselm’s Catholic Academy knew they wanted to help.
The generous scholars, including Joshua, Bryan, Sarah, Nicole, Caroline, Caedmon, Bryan, and Luke rolled up their sleeves and went door to door to collect much-needed supplies and clothing to donate. They managed to collect 33 bags of clothing and 12 cartons of assorted toiletries and miscellaneous items to support the people of Haiti.
Standing O pal and board chairman John Quaglione let us know about the good deed.
“I applaud the students for taking a role in helping those affected by Hurricane Matthew,” he said. “We are sending faith, hope and love from Brooklyn to Haiti, in an effort to help the families who lost so much to get back on their feet, and our students and our school continues to excel academically and perform charitable acts for the good of those in need.”
Standing O is sending grateful shout-outs to the students.
