Dear Gardner Dickinson Family,
We have a student at Gardner Dickinson who unfortunately lost a beloved family member.
Anthony Blaauboer was on the Autism spectrum.
Anthony left a legacy of kindness. He inspired people to choose to be kind.
In his honor, we would like to provide an opportunity to donate to a cause in his name.
Anthony’s Kindness Closet is an organization aimed at continuing his legacy. It assists with Waterford-Halfmoon’s school backpack program and is open to students who need a quick snack or meal, personal hygiene products, or school supplies.
This organization also helps families within the Capital District who request assistance with kindness packages. These packages contain canned goods, pasta, sauces, shelf-stable meats, dried fruit, etc.
Some suggestions for donations include:
Any kind of dry, pre-packaged snacks, like:
Cup O’Noodles
Velveeta Shells and Cheese cups
Velveeta Cheesy Bowls
Hormel microwavable cups
Yakisoba microwaveable noodles
Granola bars
Cereal bars
Fiber One brownies
Fruit snacks
Nutty Buddy
Little Debbie oatmeal pies
Rice Krispie treats
Personal hygiene products:
Deodorant (men and women)
Shampoo
Conditioner
Body wash
Small tubes of toothpaste
We will be collecting throughout the month of April!
Boxes will be located near the Main Office.
Thank you in advance for your support of this project!
