Congratulations to the students of Mater Dei Catholic for winning the “Full Belly Bag” competition.
The project, sponsored by local nonprofit “The Giving Tree” and Giant Food Markets, provides Full Belly Bags to local food shelters, hospitals, and food pantries.
Mater Dei Catholic raised $2,800 at their November Bake Sale and Dress-down Day. Students assembled 1,250 Full Belly Bags.
The bags were filled with mac and cheese cups, applesauce, granola bars, cookies, oatmeal, and a note of encouragement.
As a reward for winning the competition, the organizations treated the children of Mater Dei to a visit from the Phillie Phanatic.
