Stevenson Gathers to Help Others
This time of year, as we reconnect with family and friends, I’m reminded that the bonds that unite us extend beyond our immediate circles.
Earlier this month, our SHS community came together to pack 500 bags of groceries for Stevenson families who face financial hardship. Gathers events take place four times a year and are made possible with help from our Stevenson and Sodexo partners and with expanded support from the Stevenson Foundation's Jalen Brunson Patriot Wellness Initiative. The effort ensures fellow Patriots have the necessities they need during both the holiday season and extended breaks from school.
In these moments, the strength of our community shines, reminding us that, together, we have the ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Looking for new ways to make an impact at SHS? Whether you’ve considered mentoring, enjoy planning events, or are interested in exploring leadership roles, the Foundation has a variety of volunteer opportunities to explore. Email me or click here to learn more.
Go Pats!
