Mrs. Steffen's 4th Grade Class

Today we had some special visitors at the shelter:  Mrs. Steffen’s 4th Grade Class from White Lick Elementary School.  These children chose the Salvation Army Women and Children’s Shelter as the focus for their service learning project this semester.  The kids wanted to know how they could help after learning that there are kids just like them that are homeless.

The kids collected 261 cell phones which will be shipped to Shelter Alliance, a program that gives domestic violence shelters money in exchange for used cell phones.

The class also prepared 100 fleece blankets and 100 welcome packages for the kids living in the shelter.  Each welcome package included a personal card prepared by Mrs. Steffen’s students.

It was such a priviledge today to witness a group of kids with a servant’s heart hoping to make a difference in other’s lives!  Thank you to everyone who participated in this years “Call to Care.”
