Atria residents and local students assemble dozens of care packages for homeless
Atria Bay Spring Village residents and area students recently collaborated on an intergenerational project to support the efforts of New England Care Packages, a grassroots initiative to lift the spirits of people who are going through a difficult time.
NECP’s founders — students in third through seventh grade — were inspired to reach out to others after witnessing homelessness during a trip to New York City this summer. They raised money through holding lemonade stands and bake sales and bought items to create care package items to distribute to homeless people in Providence.
After a presentation and slideshow by NECP, Atria residents and the students got to work assembling 47 care packages, writing notes of support and creating an inspirational poster for children at Hasbro Hospital.
“No matter how young or old you are, you can always do something to help,” said Atria Bay Spring Village resident Audrey DuPont.
