Students from Sanford High School and Sanford Middle School's Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) program embraced the spirit of giving this holiday season during a special two-day volunteer event.
On December 12th and 13th, these young community leaders gathered at Curtis Lake Church to support the York County Toys for Tots program.
Working together, the students helped process thousands of toys that will bring joy to more than 1,000 local families this holiday season. Their tasks included counting, sorting, and organizing donations to prepare them for distribution throughout York County.
Beyond the immediate impact of helping families in need, this volunteer experience offered valuable life lessons for students.
By engaging with community members and working as a team, they strengthened their social connections while developing crucial skills in collaboration and organization.
