SD308, 

Oswego East High School’s Key Club is asking for donations to prepare first aid kits and care packages. Members of our community service organization will put together the kits, and the final products will be donated to local shelters in need. Everyone should have the ability to address their injuries regardless of their economic status, so we want to do everything we can to help make this possible. The care packages will also be put together by Key Club members, but these will be donated to the Linden Oaks Behavioral Health Center. Jack Ludolph, a Key Club member, has chosen to lead the donation efforts for Linden Oaks as a part of his senior service project. Our group decided that doing a joint drive for both causes would be most effective, and we need your help to make it successful!
