The Junior Beta Club at Pleasant Home School presented the Covington County Chapter of the American Red Cross with three boxes of personal hygiene kits for the upcoming storm season and for other local disasters.
“These kits will help us be better prepared to provide emergency assistance to those affected by disaster,” says Jeffery Biggs, executive director of the local Red Cross. “When we receive gifts like this, it helps reduce costs, but more than that, it shows that our community genuinely cares about those affected. The fact that students in one of our local schools took the construction of these personal hygiene kits on as a club project makes it even more special.”
Lisa Rolling, Junior Beta Club Sponsor at Pleasant Home School, presented Biggs and fellow Red Cross worker Don Johnson with the kits Wednesday, June 3 – just in time for hurricane season.
“The kids wanted to help, and this was a good project for them,” Rolling said. “We were glad we could help.”
