Donating for the Turkey Promenade

       Over the past few weeks I have been hearing stories from friends and family members living on Long Island about how devastating Hurricane Sandy was.  Homes, schools, and businesses were damaged and destroyed leaving many people left with nothing.  Fortunately, support and help for these storm victims have been coming in from all over the United States as people reach out to help those in need.  The Red Cross and FEMA has been sent to help distribute food and clothing and to provide housing for thousands of victims.
       Our school has a wonderful tradition of coming to the aid of the Safe Haven Shelter in Framingham run by Voices Against Violence.  This organization comes to the assistance of victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, victims that often do not national attention or support.  Voices Against Violence provides clothing, shelter, food, legal counseling, and safety for hundreds of victims a year.
     As a school we provide all of the food needs for the shelter for the entire year through our Turkey Promenade, a feat that is truly remarkable. Voices Against Violence has been able to use our donations to help feed hundreds of men, women, and children at their shelter as well as shelters in the Greater Boston Area.

  Below are items that you are encouraged to bring in:

  Jelly, Coffee, Tea, Peanut Butter, Mustard, Mayo, Salad Dressing, Syrup, Canned or Dried Fruits, Diapers, Toothpaste, Shaving Cream, Combs, Brushes, Pasta, Crushed Tomatos, Rice, Vegetable Oil, Bread Mixes.


Thank you
