Jackson Milton kids continue tradition of snack drive to benefit Rescue Mission
NORTH JACKSON, Ohio (WKBN) – Learning the spirit of philanthropy is starting young at Jackson Milton Elementary School.
For the past seven years, the first-grade class has donated snacks to the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley.
It was first started by Ms. Corinne Tomaino for 'Kindness Month' to teach students the importance of community service.
Since 2018, over 7,200 individual snacks have been collected and donated, including over 1,500 delivered on Tuesday.
'Ms. Tomaino's class really blesses the Mission in so many ways! So thankful for this partnership and how Ms. Tomaino teaches the children about the shelter every year,' said Crystal Eckman, Rescue Mission ambassador.
This year's drive, which happened throughout the month of March, saw enthusiastic participation from students, who worked hard to gather these snacks for kids at the Mission.
