For the month of December, Interact teamed up with a local charity group, Mothers and Daughters Blessings, to collect sweatshirts for families living in Red Lake, MN. Many families there can’t afford to purchase clothing to stay warm in the winter. Interact members set up donation boxes and advertised the cause at Prior Lake High School, Hidden Oaks Middle School, Twin Oaks Middle School, Redtail Ridge Elementary, Jeffers Pond Elementary, Grainwood Elementary, WestWood Elementary, Five Hawks Elementary, Edgewood School/La Ola del Lago, Savage Public Library, Prior Lake Library, Kids’ Count Daycare, and Rocking Horse Ranch Daycare. In total we collected 605 sweatshirts and jackets, along with mittens, hats, and two other boxes of clothing. Thank you to all who donated!

Feed My Starving Children
On November 9th, Interact packed meals for Feed My Starving Children in Eagan. We had over 40 Interactors, parents, and chaperones participate and our session collectively packed 121 boxes. This was a great team bonding experience and we can't wait to come back to volunteer again!
Trunk-or-Treat
On Sunday, October 29th Interact hosted a Trunk-or-Treat event to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital treats children with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses regardless of the families’ ability to pay for treatment. This year, we collectively raised $615.66!
