The youth leadership group I advise, SHARE - Students Helping Area Resistance Efforts, has been creating and delivering holiday gift baskets to senior citizens and people facing hardships in Crawford County for over 10 years. My students write letters to seek donations from area business in early November. We then use the money donated to either purchase items for the baskets or, to purchase baking supplies for the cookies and breads that we put in the baskets. Many business also give us supplies to put in the baskets. Last year, over 200 baskets were made and delivered by our group. This year, our goal is again 200 baskets. Items we bake for the baskets are loaves of banana or pumpkin bread for each basket and over 7 types of cookies for a total of over 1,700 cookies baked. Each basket, once assembled, contains over 25 useful items; fruit, soup, tea/coffee, sponges, post-it notes, and baked goods. Meals on Wheels of Crawford County will then deliver around 40 of these baskets and we deliver the rest door-to-door throughout the county over 3 - 4 nights. This project is a wonderful example of community, schools, and youth working together. The support we get from the community for this project is tremendous! Parents or community members also provide meals for the students and adults each night we work on this project. The senior citizens look forward to the student showing up at their doors each year. This project is great learning experience for the students leaders!
