The Hawk staff

It may feel rainy all the time lately, but the HHS Outreach Club is bringing sunshine to local families. Members this week put together 100 treat bags for senior citizens and veterans who receive Meals on Wheels deliveries through the Hanover Council on Aging. They also made 72 Easter baskets for children who live in shelters run by the Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore as well as clients of the Hanover Food Pantry.

It’s one of many projects done throughout the year by the club, created and led by senior Ashley Stracco. In fact, you may see club members hawking Hilliard’s candy bars around school, sales of which fund the projects along with donations from local businesses. If interested in learning more about the club, contact Ashley at astracco24@hanoverstudents.org or future president Courtney McGinnis at cmcginnis25@hanoverstudents.org.
