This year there were 240 families served from Pre-K to 5th grade. All students received a jacket of their color choice, snow pants, gloves, stocking cap, and boots. The Faribault Mill dotated a twin size blanket to all orders. Faribault Public schools helped with a donation of $4,000. The total amount of funds used was $16,000. With a gross value of merchandise of 27,000. Average order value of $75.00 per student.
On Friday, we had roughly a dozen volunteers packing student order bags over the course of a couple hours. On Tuesday October 15th. Bags were distributed by our dedicated law enforcement officers to all local elementary schools before the start of MEA weekend. Just in time for the season's first frost.
