St. Michael’s first grade K Kids Club collects more than 500 items for Providence House
INDEPENDENCE-The First Grade Kiwanis K‑Kids Club of St. Michael School had a very successful collection for Providence House as a community service project in the month of February. K‑Kids is a service group guided through the local Independence Kiwanis Club. The K‑Kids decided to kick off the donation drive during Catholic Schools Week at the St. Basil Campus. Providence House, located in Cleveland, is in desperate need of many things for the babies and young children it takes care of who are neglected. They offer emergency shelter to children newborn through five years old actively living in crisis.
“We would like to thank everyone for their very generous donations to Providence House. The response was overwhelming,” said Mrs. Denise Freeman, first grade teacher and First Grade K‑Kids advisor. “When we delivered everything to Providence House, all they could say was, ‘Make sure you thank all your parents, students, and parishioners for all the donations.’”
