Otters Helping Others: CRS Donates to Needham Community Council

December 02, 2022
Group of student volunteers

Before November Break, the CRS community collected more than 875 pounds of food and goods for the Needham Community Council’s Food Pantry. Organized by the Parent Association, the food drive is an annual event to support local families in need. CRS parent volunteers collected items at morning drop-off, and middle schoolers helped load the donations and bring them to the Food Pantry. After unloading the stocking the shelves, students heard from a Needham Community Council staff member about the impact of their service. Click here for more photos.

Thank you to everyone who donated and volunteered!
