As the holiday season approaches, many organizations whether religious or secular help the less fortunate in the Cape Cod area. Through Dress A Live Doll and Thanksgiving Baskets, Sturgis students and faculty too are giving back to their community.
Mrs. Botsford said, “I’ve always wanted to organize a charity drive here at Sturgis.” And now she is: Botsford is leading Sturgis advisories in the Dress A Live Doll campaign, and Sturgis involvement in this campaign has been tremendous. Out of twenty advisories at Sturgis East, fifteen are participating in Dress A Live Doll.
Dr. Albis is in charge of collecting the turkey baskets which will be given to needy families. As of now, twenty-four advisories at both Sturgis East and Sturgis West have agreed to make the baskets. Even several faculty members without advisories volunteered to bring in items.
Albis said that, “My hope is that by participating in this holiday-oriented food drive, people will become more aware of hunger in our communities and make an effort to help alleviate it year round.”
Junior Alex Lloyd mentioned, ““I think it’s a very nice thought although unfortunately a lot of people seem to be forgetting.” Even if you are one of these forgetful people, there is still time to bring supplies and make a difference in the lives of a needy Cape Cod family this winter.
