Jack Thomas coordinates donation drive for veterans

After coordinating a holiday collection drive for veterans, Sussex Academy sophomore Jack Thomas donated 50 bags full of items for Kent and Sussex county veterans.

Each bag included a blanket, an insulated water bottle, a hat, gloves, hand warmers, a scarf, toothbrush/toothpaste, a second foldable backpack, toiletries, a poncho, wipes and a holiday greeting card handmade by Sussex Academy elementary students.

Veterans at the VA Sussex County Outpatient Clinic also received gift bags with gloves, hats and handmade cards from our elementary students.

Sussex Academy students and siblings (l-r) Jack and Grace Thomas delivered gift bags full of items for veterans to Kent and Sussex County VA Homeless Coordinator Lisa Lincoln and Sussex VA Outpatient Clinic Administrative Lead Natalie Baker.
