[Counselors] Service Project Ideas

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

What if you did a food drive "drive-thru"? You could designate one specific
time for parents to drive-thru and drop off items. This way, they wouldn't
be entering the building. Or, you could do a gift card drive- request gift
cards for local grocery stores and then divvy them up to those in need.
