Four Hambright Elementary students raised money for Water Street Mission after researching the plight of children living in poverty as part of a school enrichment activity.
The fifth-graders were asked to select one of the sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to improve health, education and economic opportunities for people worldwide.
Kyla Cintron, Molly Hufford, Nina McComsey, and Ariana Giberson selected poverty as their focus and studied homelessness in Lancaster County. After researching the issue, they were inspired to support Water Street Mission, a Lancaster organization that provides housing and meals for the homeless.
The students baked cookies and brownies and sold them in their neighborhood, raising $175. They presented a check to the mission on Oct. 25.
