Helping the homeless
Students from Delta Opportunity School made a large donation of food, socks and gloves to the Abraham Connection, the homeless shelter located in Delta. Students toured the shelter several weeks ago and were inspired to help by collecting the items. One student even got her employer involved: management, staff and customers at the Dollar Tree in Delta all chipped in to purchase new socks and gloves for the guests at the shelter. “You give my kids a project and they really step up,” said teacher Willyn Webb. Several students dropped the donations off at the shelter last week.

It’s great to see young people in our community step up and help the shelter.”
