Thanksgiving Baskets
In 2021, our group prepared 40 turkey dinners for families in need through Stroudsburg Area School District with help from Kiwanis of the Stroudsburg’s Noon Club. In 2022, our Vice President-Beth Yaswinski-applied for and won a grant to DOUBLE this program to which we provided the Stroudsburg community with 80 dinners. In 2024, we were grateful to provide the needed number of 115 dinners to 3 local school districts!
Eagle Scout Project
Ethan built a mobile sensory percussion station that will reside at Mekeel Childcare Center on the campus of East Stroudsburg University of PA. Ethan was enrolled at Mekeel as a toddler and wanted to give back to his “alma mater.” The equipment will benefit children with special needs; but he hopes everyone enrolled will enjoy using the musical instruments.
