The SADD Club and Community Service Clubs at Mattituck Jr. Sr. High School recently put together donations for “Birthday In A Box” to be donated to CAST in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service.
The idea of the ”Birthday In A Box” was to collect items a struggling family might need or use in order to provide a celebration for a child’s birthday.
