Teens Make One Family's Holiday Dreams Come True

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — Opening hearts to those in need, members of Westhampton Beach High School's Interact Club raised funds to make the holidays brighter for one local family.

In order to raise funds, club members held several bake sales and used the money to purchase items from the family’s holiday wish list at Target, a release said.

Following the shopping expedition, students had a gift wrapping party where they also listened to holiday music, ate cookies, and drank hot chocolate.

“This community service project is truly the highlight of our club and brings out the best that our students have to offer,” said Carrie Bender, Interact Club adviser.

All of the families’ gifts will be delivered to the Church of the Immaculate Conception; volunteers will distribute them.
