WHO WE ARE

Hey guys! We’re your Cares & Awareness Commission for the year! Our names are Miya Takeuchi (Sophomore), Samra Rahman (Junior), Vivien Gilbert (Junior), and Ava Mendoza (Junior). We are super excited for what is in store for the year!

WHAT IS CARES & AWARENESS

Cares & Awareness is a commission that holds various drives/events to raise awareness and help others. Our goal this year is to spread and promote awareness about topics that should be noticed. We are also pushing towards helping those during this troubling time. In addition, we work closely with Peace Pantry throughout the entire year. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions/concerns/etc.

PEACE PANTRY

Peace Pantry is launching this October! Hillsdale, in partnership with Peace Pantry, is dedicated to helping struggling families during the pandemic. With your donations of Target gift cards, other essential items, and money we can help these families. There will be boxes in students' advisories to drop off the money and target gift cards. There will also be one in the front office. Teachers will even do fun challenges when we reach a certain amount of money per month, for example jumping in the pool! Be on the lookout for monthly flyers about each drive and some amazing prizes that come with!

Below is an example of a box that you can put money and Target gift cards into!
