Kids Helping Kids!: Bethlehem Preschool Collects Change for Haven from Hunger via Gathering Change, Inc.

Bethlehem Preschool in Lynnfield collects change for Gathering Change, Inc. to support Haven from Hunger, a food pantry that supplies food assistance to Lynnfield residents.

Bethlehem Preschool in Lynnfield held a month-long change collection called Kids helping kids!.  The preschool children and their families donated their spare change and brought it into the school during the month of February to donate to Gathering Change, Inc.  Gathering Change, Inc., a local grassroots non-profit organization that collects food or spare change for neighborhood food pantries teamed up with the Bethlehem PTO and the preschool director to organize this event raising $539.47.  These funds will be directed to Haven from Hunger, a food pantry in Peabody; the place where Lynnfield neighbors go for food assistance.
