For 13 years, Village Elementary School in Hilton has asked staff and families to donate basic necessities that are then wrapped up in shoe boxes and dropped off at the Open Door Mission in Rochester. The Student Council, led by Christina Wallace and Mara Berretta, coordinates the Annual Shoebox Campaign every year to which families and staff make donations of new socks, hats, gloves, and personal care items, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, razors, shampoo, and conditioner. The items are sorted by Student Council members, placed into shoeboxes, and wrapped in holiday paper. This year, close to 100 boxes and bags were delivered to the Open Door Mission.
