TRUMBULL—St. Joseph High School, striving to be southern Connecticut’s premier college preparatory school, was proud to host a service day for its students on Monday, July 11, 2022. During the event, SJ students packed 177 snack bags for the clients at The Thomas Merton Center (Bridgeport) as well as 62 Food4Kids Weekend bags for children at The Sterling House Community Center (Stratford).
“These are two incredibly important organizations within the community,” remarked Jessica Costa, director of marketing & enrollment management at St. Joseph High School. “Sterling House provides multiple opportunities and events to feed those in need throughout the year, and the Merton Center serves an average of 400 meals per day. At St. Joseph High School, we believe that community service and a life in service to others is a core part of our educational foundation. We are so proud of the students who will be generously volunteering their time to give back to those in need.”
35 SJ students (from grades 9-12) participated in the Meal Pack Service Day. The school hopes to make this an annual event each summer in addition to the athletic camps and academic programs offered.
