Annual Shoebox Donations Of 425 Families Filled and Set for Delivery

Jasper County residents once again exceeded expectations and completed the filling of 425 shoeboxes for ERBA to hand out to lower income children.

Community members, groups, and organizations were given a number with the age of a child or children and gender and they then filled boxes with gifts for the children. This allows the families to remain anonymous while still giving those purchasing information about the family they are helping.

The PE teachers and students then helped deliver the packages by carrying them to the ERBA Office!

Below is a message from NCHS Principal Mrs Beth Probst
