On Thursday, May 8, our school community came together in a powerful show of compassion and teamwork, assembling 2,000 food and hydration kits in record time for unsheltered San Diegans. Students also created heartfelt, handmade cards filled with words of encouragement.
At Gillispie, we encourage students to participate in service projects because they help develop empathy, a sense of responsibility, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. By engaging in meaningful acts of service, students learn that they have the power to make a real difference in the lives of others.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible parent volunteers and students for their time, effort, and generosity. Your contributions made this day a tremendous success!
We were proud to partner with the Lucky Duck Foundation, a local organization committed to supporting San Diego’s homeless population. To learn more about their work and how you can get involved, follow them on Instagram at @luckyduckfoundation.
