Smithtown Students Donate Holiday Baskets For Those In Need

Members of the Mills Pond Cares Club at Mills Pond Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District are working hard to give back to the community this holiday season.

On April 4, the club, along with two fifth-grade classes, created spring holiday baskets.

Throughout March, the school collected donations from families and staff members to fill the baskets.

The baskets, more than 100 in total, were filled with candy, stuffed animals and handmade cards to be distributed by the River Fund of New York to children in need.

The River Fund is an organization that provides food relief all year long for children, working families in need, and the homeless and low-income seniors.

The baskets will be delivered just in time for the Easter holiday.
