DeMello Elementary School students and families took a trip to Gifts to Give’s Acushnet headquarters to help out at the non-profit organization.

More than 50 students, parents, grandparents, and DeMello staff members made the trip on January 28, working in the warehouse to organize and prepare donations. They assisted in cleaning and sorting shoes, folding clothing, looking through books, sorting donations, organizing donated doll clothing, and assembled puzzles to make sure they contained every piece.

The outing was the idea of the DeMello School’s Student Council. The council organizes a trip to Gifts to Give every year, and this year it concluded a donation drive for gently worn or new clothing, which was donated to the organization.
