Chesterbrook Academy Campers Collect Donations for Local Children

Summer campers collected a variety of items for the organization, which provides care and support to homeless and impoverished children.

On July 20, summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on Beverly Crest Boulevard in Charlotte donated nearly 100 items to Bright Blessings of Greater Charlotte to benefit its Bless-A-Baby and Tots of Love program, which provides care and support to homeless and impoverished children in the Greater Charlotte area. Campers held a donation drive to collect diapers, pacifiers, bottles, clothing, books, blankets and toys. Through this initiative, summer campers learned the importance of helping other children in their community.

Bright Blessings of Greater Charlotte is a volunteer-led organization that impacts more than 10,000 homeless and impoverished children a year through its core programs, Bless-A-Birthday, Bless-A-Baby, Gift of Literacy and Gift of Care.
