2/28/2020 R. B. Hunt Elementary School Donates Cloth Bags for Use by Children in the County Public School System ASSIST Program
In response to a listing on our website, the First Grade Classes from R. B. Hunt Elementary School in St. Augustine set a goal to collect 120 cloth bags for use by the St Johns County Public School ASSIST Program. As the children learned about caring for others in the community the number of bags lining the hall walls continued to exceed the revised goal of 300 and by Friday, February 28th, 560 bags were collected under project HUNT KIDS CARE! The bags were donated to the ASSIST Program for use by homeless and unaccompanied youth to transport food, clothing and other items from school to home.
Congratulations to R. B. Hunt Elementary School for helping our Mission of Uniting the Community Through Helping Others in Need.
