💗 Back to Our Roots 💗
At North Star, community service has always been something that has meant a lot to our gym. One of the things that helped build this program from the beginning was teaching our athletes that being part of a team means giving back to the community around us. 💗
As we head into Season 14, we are excited to get back to our roots and bring monthly community service projects back to our gym family.
For the month of May, our athletes and families came together to help clean up the veterans area at Birch Hill and we could not be more proud of the way our families showed up.
Now we are excited to get a head start on our June Community Service Project in support of children in our community who are going through incredibly difficult times.
Throughout June, we will be collecting donations for OCS for children being removed from their homes. Far too often, children leave with very few belongings and little comfort during such a hard transition. Our goal is to help provide them with something of their own and remind them that they are cared about.💗
We are collecting:
🎒 Duffel bags
🎽 Gym bags
🎒 Backpacks
🪥 Toiletries & hygiene items
Requested toiletry items include:
🪥 Toothbrushes & toothpaste
🧴 Shampoo & conditioner
🧼 Body wash
🪮 Hair brushes/combs
✨ Deodorant
OCS has specifically requested travel-size toiletries when possible, as they are easier to distribute and store.
If anyone in the community would like to donate new bags or toiletries, donations can be dropped off at the cheer gym throughout the month of June.
Thank you, North Star families, for always helping us teach our athletes the importance of compassion, kindness, leadership, and giving back to the community that supports us. 💗
