Chesterbrook Academy Preschool Students Donate Gifts and Food

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Germantown held donation drives to support a local elementary school and Manna Food Center

Students from Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Germantown recently delivered a donation of gifts to students at Germantown Elementary School. Over the past few weeks, students at Chesterbrook Academy participated in a giving tree program to collect toys, clothing and books to benefit 22 students in need.

Additionally, students donated more than 130 pounds of food to Manna Food Center in Gaithersburg and learned how their contributions will be distributed to local families. Manna Food Center works to fight hunger, feed hope and transition Montgomery County residents from a place of scarcity to prosperity by providing safe, sufficient and nutritious food. Through these initiatives, students learned the importance of giving back to the community, especially during the holidays.
