Blair High School Sophomores in the highly competitive Communications Arts Program chose to benefit Hearts & Homes for Youth as part of its “Change Project” this year. The group collected 136 stuffed animals and pajamas to help make our Hearts & Homes Youth a little more comfortable and to help people in the community.

“We are really happy to be helping the kids,” says Ann Marie Huisentruit, who, with the help of her teammates, collected, boxed, wrapped and brought the gifts to our Hearts & Homes headquarters. Why did the group choose Hearts & Homes for Youth? “We wanted to work with children in the area,” said Leon Mait, who spearheaded this campaign.
