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: Hey Knights welcome back :)! Peace Pantry is relaunching this January and we can’t wait to jump right in! Peace Pantry is an organization that allows our community to help Hillsdale Families through difficult times. The donations of Target gift cards, essential items, and money are crucial to several families, especially while the Covid-19 pandemic continues to take effect. Hillsdale, in partnership with Peace Pantry, is dedicated to helping struggling families during the pandemic, and with that, located around the school, there will be several Peace Pantry drop boxes (specifically located in students’ advisories and front office) open for donations. Feel free to donate target gift cards or cash to a local Peace Pantry box, and if you would like to donate other daily necessities, feel free to visit our Peace Pantry drive-thru :)! Also, be on the lookout for monthly flyers about each drive and some fun activities and prizes that come with! ​

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