2nd grade virtual field trip: giving back in the erie community
TRANSCRIPT
You can make a
difference in the Erie
community by donating
things you don’t need.
How can you make a
difference with your extra:
Non-
perishable
food items
like boxed
food and
canned
food are
the easiest
to donate.
Erie City Mission: Free Meal Ministry
The free meal
ministry gives lunch
to men, women, and
children in need.
They serve about 200
people every day.
Second Harvest Food Bank
Food given to Second
Harvest goes to help
420 of their partner
organizations. Last year,
they gave out 11.2
million pounds of food!
You can
donate
clothes
that don’t
fit you
anymore.
Just make
sure they
are still
wearable
if you
donate
them to
these
charities.
EUMA: Rainbow Connection Thrift Store
This thrift store sells
clothes for low prices,
and uses the money they
receive to help the
homeless in Erie. They
also give away free
clothes to those who
can’t afford them.
St. Martin Center
The St. Martin Center
helps people who are
having a hard time
finding a job. They give
items such as clothes,
and also help families get
back on their feet again.
If you have
working
toys you
don’t want
anymore,
you can
donate
them to
other
children
through
these
charities.
SafeNet
If a child has a home that
is unsafe for them to live
in, they can get help from
SafeNet. Toys donated to
SafeNet will go to children
who are going through
very difficult times.
Salvation Army
You can donate used toys
to the Salvation Army Thrift
Store. You can also take
part in the Angel Tree
project, where you donate
new toys to a child who
would not normally get
Christmas presents.
Even a
little bit of
time spent
helping
your
community
can make
a big
difference.

activities and field trips
that help girls learn
about how to improve
themselves and their
communities.

activities and field trips
that help boys learn
