Two seniors from the SFD Mind Over Matter Club, Adison Czerniak and Gabbi D’Amico, gave their time, energy and love to support the coat/outerwear hand-out event supporting the SideBySide program. SideBySide supports families and children in need in the Harlem township area of Big Walnut. The girls worked directly with the kids to help them select a coat, hat, gloves and boots of their choice to prepare them for the upcoming winter months. |
