Hillside 3rd Grade Visits Food Pantry

Hillside third grade classes visited the Needham Community Council (NCC), where they toured the facility and were informed about all of the important services the NCC provides to our community.  The children learned that over 100 Needham families visit the Food Pantry each month and about the many services provided by the NCC, such as ELL tutoring, the clothing thrift store, medical supply rentals, and holiday meal deliveries.  Prior to their visits, the students organized pantry collection drives and in all, they collected over 75 bags of food, paper goods, and toiletries to donate to the pantry.
