The Westhampton Beach High School Student Government has donated more than 35 gifts to two local families in need this holiday season.

Through various fundraisers, including a Polar Bear Plunge and turkey bowl, the students raised $1,200, which was used to buy gifts for each family member.

While wrapping gifts with her peers, Student Government Vice President Catherine Penn said, “This is a nice way to connect to people close to home.”

The gifts will be distributed through the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Westhampton Beach.
