Grades 5-12.  Tweens and teens will have the opportunity to assist the guests of the Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN) in Hempstead through our new travel size toiletry program. Each participant who brings in a minimum of 3, new and unopened travel size personal hygiene products in a Ziploc style plastic bag, will earn 1 hour of community service credit.  Items include, but are not limited to, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, and lotion.  Participants may donate items purchased at a store or those collected from hotel stays while traveling.  All donations should be brought to Mrs. Greco in the Family Center.
