CHP Middle Schoolers Win Hearts Through Kindness

We are so proud of CHP’s middle school students for organizing and contributing towards a fundraising activity aimed at helping children in need. The activity was part of the 2023-2024 community giving.

Families less fortunate than us need warm clothes during the winter season, and our students reached out to local businesses, neighbors, and friends and asked for sock donations. The ‘Socktober’ event led to students procuring over 2,000 pairs of socks which were donated to two local shelters - The Center for Great Expectations in Somerset and Ozanam Family Shelter in Edison.

When we asked one of our students who brought in hundreds of socks, she said "Donating socks to the shelters made me feel very happy because I realized that some people are not as fortunate as others. The people who received them must have been extremely excited when they got them. I would love to do something like this again."

All the students felt that it was a great opportunity to make a positive impact and were grateful for the chance to contribute to a worthy cause.
