Magnolia Mission, a non-profit organization that helps families who take in emergency foster care children, was in dire need of supplies after a drunk driver ran into their building, destroying their entire supply room a few months ago. Franklin High School’s National Honor Society stepped in and collected almost $3000 worth of supplies including 42 packs of diapers, wipes, children’s socks and underwear. Also collected were 43 packs of laundry detergent, dish soap, plates, bowls, Clorox wipes, tissues, and Ziplock storage bags.
On top of these supplies, members of NHS donated money to Magnolia Mission totaling $1045.
Pictured are the Officers of NHS: Lass Ward (Historian), Emily Lewis (Secretary), Abigail Pope (President), and Elizabeth Cruz-Rios (Vice President).
