Last week, St. Brigid School families collected items for the needy that they packaged and distributed at St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen in Portland.
The 7th graders packed over 150 gallon-sized bags of small essential items, including toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo and socks. They labeled the bags by gender and clothing size. On Friday, a group of 8th grade students took the bags to the Soup Kitchen and gave them to needy individuals. They also helped serve a meal and clean the facility.
The event was covered by the Presence Catholic Radio network and the Diocesan website.
