In August, ten York Suburban High School students involved with the Impact Foundation (IF) met at East York Elementary School to build an Impact Closet.The closet is stocked with free school supplies, clothes, and hygiene items to benefit the growing population of students experiencing a difficult time meeting their basic needs.
After assembling shelving units, cutting trim, constructing and painting walls, and stocking the shelves with supplies, three of the intended six Impact Closets, one within each of the District buildings are now complete. A grant awarded through the York County Community Foundation will allow the students to complete construction of all six Impact Closets by December 2016.
The Impact Foundation’s motto is Students Helping Students. IF formed in 2015, and is a student committee of the York Suburban Education Foundation. Consisting of a student board of directors and committee volunteers at York Suburban High School, IF is focused on continuing York Suburban’s commitment toward educational excellence by educating and engaging students in meeting the needs of their own school community through philanthropic compassion.
