About:
- Rye Girls Basketball adopted 8 local families to help make their holidays brighter!
- 2. Spending our morning at Caritas Food Bank
Both JV and Varsity teams volunteered on Saturday morning at Caritas of Port Chester. Caritas mission statement is, “to provide food, clothing, counseling and educational services for anyone in need in Port Chester, NY and the surrounding area. We show respect for the dignity of each individual who seeks our assistance, with the goal of developing personal, economic and social opportunity for all those we serve.” The girls unpacked the food pantry, assisted those in need as “one-to-one shoppers” and packed up the leftover food. The players enjoyed helping those in need and made a personal connection with every person who came through to pick up food items. Many of the girls were able to use the Spanish they learn here at Rye High School to communicate with those who attended.
