The Hawthorn Parents' Guild will be collecting donations of food and winter clothing to be delivered to the Community Center of Northern Westchester. Suggested donations include: dried and canned beans, dried fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, nut butters, whole grains (oats, rice, quinoa, farro, barely, pastas), granola, canned soups, low sugar granola bars, and other nutritious non-perishable food selections. Clothing accessories including new hats, gloves, and scarves will be donated to the “Share the Warmth Initiative”.  Even young children may participate in this community service project by selecting food items at the grocery store, bagging warm winter items, and delivering the donations to school. Parent volunteers will receive donations on the front porch (school’s main entrance) and boys’ side exit at morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off during this week.
