Tragedy struck in Beaver Local School District when a Beaver Local family’s house recently burned down. The house and all their belongings were a total loss. As soon as the school district heard about this, people sprung into action collecting donations for the family.
So far, the Beaver Local community has collected over $1000. In addition to monetary donations, community members have donated toys and clothing for the kids of the family. Boyce United Methodist Church donated three giant bags full of new toys. So many generous people from all over the community have donated different items for the family’s needs.
A young girl in 5th grade, Katelyn M, took it upon herself to collect money from her church and neighborhood. She brought in over $200 to donate to the family. A junior, Rebecca Scarcella, donated an outfit and a toy for each child. Also, a sophomore, Garrett Givens donated a new Beaver Local athletic bag filled with pajamas, slippers, shoes and more.
It is amazing how generous the Beaver Local community is when tragedy strikes. The outpour of kindness has really touched the family’s hearts. The family is currently working on getting back on their feet.
