WATCHUNG – Students, parents, faculty and staff at Mount Saint Mary Academy in Watchung donated 315 pairs of socks in various colors, sizes and styles during the H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everywhere) Club’s annual Sock It To ‘Em collection. The socks aid clients of Elijah’s Promise in New Brunswick, who will have a warmer winter thanks to the generosity of the Academy community. The Club will hold a Cereal Super Bowl collection in January for Star Fish Food Pantry in Plainfield.
