Avon Lake Students Make Donation To Community Group

AVON LAKE, OH — The Avon and Avon Lake Community Resource Services group recently had a visit from a group of students from Eastview Elementary School. The students, who had been volunteering all year, were able to see the results of their labor.

The students are part of the Library Shelf Elf group. They volunteer during their recess, helping out in the library. They read to first-graders, help them select a book, shelve books, repair books, and help check books in and out.

During the holiday season, students helped others pick gifts during the Snowflake Shoppee in the library.

This year, Eastview Elementary donated $303 to Community Resource Services.

To give students a first-hand glimpse into what their generosity of spirit can do, they were taken to CRS. They were able to see what their help can do for someone in need.

Eastview Elementary students have raised money for CRS for three years. To date, the school has raised $664.71 for the group.

For those unfamiliar with CRS, the group aids anyone in Avon and Avon Lake that may need a helping hand. During the holiday season, the group gave out gifts, meals, clothes, and holiday baskets to those in-need.
