Holy Cross School Helps the Homeless

Holy Cross School students prepared 1,000 packaged meals for Cup of Joe, an organization that serves men and women in area Catholic Charities shelters. Holy Cross held a 5K run this past October and used a portion of the proceeds raised to purchase the food and supplies for the Cup of Joe event.
Students in Second grade through Eighth grade worked together to assemble the packaged meals.
“Our mission is to to educate our students to be good citizens, and to care for all of God’s children”, said Lisa Kane, principal at Holy Cross School. “Cup of Joe enables our students to make a difference in our local community.”
“I like this activity because we are working together to help others.” said Katie Zalewski, seventh grader at Holy Cross School. “We hope the people that receive these meals know that people are praying for them and care about them.”
The completion of a service project during Catholic Schools Week is one of the many Holy Cross School community traditions where the students collaborate to support a local charity.

Holy Cross School is a co-educational school serving students in Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade. To learn more about Holy Cross School, please vist http:/hcross.org.
