Fifth Graders at Blue Ridge Elementary have completed the "Hexagon Project" this year in Sarrah Dibble's after school Art Club. The Hexagon Donation containers were placed in twenty locations in our local community. After counting the money collected, over $700 will be donated to Susquehanna County Interfaith. Interfaith will use the money to continue to help heat homes of those in need. Blue Ridge Fifth Grade Art clubs thanks everyone who helped on this project. The highest amount in one donation container was, fifth grader, Jerni Schell's whose container was at Reddons Drug Store. Her Hexagon contained $148.00. Students' projects will be a part of the Interdependence Day Art Exhibit in the fall of 2012.

Throughout the winter, many lower income families have to make the choice between keeping current with their rent and utility payments, or putting fuel in their tanks to heat their homes. Although more than 146 households have received fuel assistance from Interfaith already this cold season, with more still calling weekly, this assistance only stretches so far. When spring arrives, many households begin receiving electric shut-off notices or eviction notices as a result of their financial strain during the winter.

As Interfaith and other organizations face these upcoming needs, they welcome any support the community wishes to give. Although the hope of spring looms on the horizon, for a large number of residents of this county this ushers in a new set of difficulties in the aftermath of winter's demands. Only a community united in its care for others can rise to meet this challenge and provide hope to help our neighbors. (Information provided by Susquehanna County Interfaith).
