Chesterbrook Academy Students Donate Gifts to Nonprofit

Students donated more than 200 stuffed animals, as well as a crib, bikes and toys to Gleaning for the World

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on McNair Farms Drive in Herndon recently donated more than 200 stuffed animals to Gleaning for the World as part of the organization’s Teddy Bear Brigade, a drive to benefit children in need around the world. In addition to the stuffed animals, students donated a new crib, bicycles and toys. Following the drive, students helped sort and load the donations for delivery to the organization. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of giving back, especially during the holidays.

Gleaning for the World is a humanitarian organization that addresses critical needs of people suffering during natural disasters and extreme poverty.
