About:
The Carle Place Key Club, which includes student athletes, hosted their annual winter blood drive. An impressive 71 pints were collected from the drive, which was donated to the New York Blood Center. Students were educated by New York Blood Center representative Marian Haberman about the importance of donating blood and learned that a pint of blood can save up to three lives.
Also, Throughout the month of November, they held a Food Drive across grades 7 through 12. Non-perishable food was collected in social studies classes to benefit the local food pantry at Our Lady of Hope in Carle Place. The drive will help feed 105 people that make up 18 families in the Carle Place community.
