Generosity modeling begins with the youngest students

“Every child needs food to eat.” This is the simple sentiment expressed in the book For Every Child a Better World that was used to introduce Notre Dame Learning Center preschoolers to the concepts of empathy and generosity during the holiday season. Children decorated a “sharing box” and were asked to bring in their favorite boxed or canned food to share with hungry children in their local community. Many kids chose to bring in Mac N Cheese and peanut butter. The food will be donated to Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank, which serves the neighborhood around Notre Dame Center. Through donations from schools and organizations, Manna feeds 20,000 people per year… and the Notre Dame Learning Center preschoolers got to be a part of this larger impact.

La Reina High School & Middle School students hosted a canned good drive for St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Paschal Baylon chapter. SVDP feeds the hungry,
gives drink to the thirsty, clothes the needy, and helps
with housing. Food is distributed every Saturday morning
9 am to 11 am in the church parking lot.
