Chesterbrook Academy® Preschoolers Donate Hundreds of Toys & Food

Students at Chesterbrook Academy® Preschool in Charlotte Donate Hundreds of Toys and Food Items to Local Charities

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on Beverly Crest Boulevard in Charlotte recently donated 150 boxes and bags of nonperishable food items to Loaves and Fishes, a nonprofit organization that provides a week’s worth of nutritionally balanced groceries to individuals and families experiencing a short-term crisis throughout Mecklenburg County. Over the past few weeks, students and their families participated in a food drive to collect donations for Loaves and Fishes to distribute to community members in need.

In addition to the food drive, students donated dozens of toys to families supported by the local branch of The Salvation Army. Through these initiatives, students learned the importance of spreading kindness and helping others, especially during the holiday season.
