HOME OF THE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK
Hall-Kent students, HK counselor Jackie Hughes, and art teacher Kelly Berwager present Jimmie Hale Mission representatives Terry Preston and Rev. Green Calhoun with a donation to help provide holiday meals for those in need. The students also decorated placemats to help inspire all the homeless men, women and children the Mission serves.
Hall-Kent Elementary students and teachers participated in a school-wide fundraiser, “Coins from Caring Hearts.” They donated their loose coins to help the Jimmie Hale Mission during the holidays. Just $1.95 provided a holiday meal to the homeless and hungry, and Hall-Kent’s goal was to purchase as many meals as possible for those in need. The students hoped their donations helped make someone else’s holiday brighter. “Our area is blessed with caring,
compassionate, giving people,” said Tony Cooper, The Jimmie Hale Mission’s Executive Director. “So it does not surprise me, however it is inspiring that the children follow in the adult’s steps in helping the less fortunate. During this time of year the children bless us at The Jimmie Hale Mission ministries by coloring holiday placemats, volunteering or participating in donation drives. These children truly exemplify the Christmas spirit and the holiday season.”
