Glenwood Towers
Glenwood Towers, a low income apartment building for the elderly, is a 7th grade Service Learning partner. The senior citizens who live there do not receive normal hot meals from Meals on Wheels, over the Thanksgiving break. To solve this issue, our 7th graders would like to provide the residents with supplemental meals so that they can enjoy the four day Thanksgiving weekend. In order to do this, our 7th graders need your help! The 7th graders have created a signup genius to help gather food supplies. Please consider signing up and help us provide meals for our Senior Citizen friends! Sign UP
