Lincoln Orens Middle School’s Builders’ Club members conducted a food drive to help those in need this Thanksgiving. Under the guidance of advisor and teacher Karen Davis, students spent their Saturday afternoon on Nov. 11 at Stop and Shop on Atlantic Avenue in Oceanside, where they collected donations.
The Builders’ Club is an international middle school community service organization that is sponsored by the Island Park Kiwanis Club. Currently, 14 students participate. The group filled 11 large boxes with goods that will be distributed to less fortunate families in the community.
The Island Park Kiwanis Club donated 10 $20 Stop & Shop gift cards to all the recipients as well, so that families could purchase turkeys and supplemental food items for Thanksgiving dinner.
