Grey Nun Academy Students Donate Carloads Of Food For Needy Families

Students at Yardley's Grey Nun Academy showed their true holiday spirits this week by delivering tons of food to help feed needy families.

The catholic school students delivered six carloads of food through the Church of the Sacred Heart in Trenton, N.J.

Students also collected monetary donations and helped to distribute food, including 20 turkeys with all the trimmings.

“Volunteerism is an integral part of every child’s education at Grey Nun Academy, where our curriculum is aimed at enriching a child’s intellectual development alongside their spiritual, social, and emotional growth as well,” Head of School at Grey Nun Academy Deborah Kost said in a press release. “Campus ministry plans monthly service efforts to inspire students to make a difference by integrating learning with faith and action. Through these important programs, we are developing compassionate and responsible individuals who want to effect positive change on the lives of those in need.”

Through December, students and families will participate in a gift-giving program in support of Catholic Social Services to purchase much-needed clothing items for children in underserved areas.

“From the earliest stages of learning and development, students at GNA are educated to their responsibility in justice to satisfy the needs of the poor and needy, and they take that opportunity very seriously,” Kost said.
