Hatboro-Horsham Fifth Grader Organizes Hurricane Clothing Drive

HORSHAM, PA — A Hatboro-Horsham school district fifth grader recently organized a clothing drive to benefit victims of Hurricane Maria.

All told, more than 80 bags and boxes of clothing were gathered, the school district said.

The clothes will be distributed through a local church to locations in need in Philadelphia and Puerto Rico.
