J.F. Cooper PTA Community Service Project
In partnership with CommunitySJP and 10 other Cherry Hill PTAs!
CARE PACKAGE & HYGIENE KIT DRIVE
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is:
‘What are you doing for others?'” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Last year, students in our school district donated over 1,800 care packages and hygiene kits for our project. Would YOU like to do something for others? You can make a mini care package or hygiene kit at home for those in need in our community. Here are the directions!
If you’d like to participate in this project, talk to your family and pick which kit(s) you would like to make. You can make as many kits as you would like.
Have your family purchase the items below. You can find them in stores like Dollar Tree, Target, Walmart, a pharmacy, or the supermarket.
Assemble your kit(s) on any day for the MLK Day of Service.
Take 1-2 photos for the yearbook! Have an adult send them to yearbook@jfcooperpta.org.
Drop off your kit(s) to the main office by January 20, 2023.
