Small Things Matter
The purpose of Small Things Matter WJ is for students to contribute to their community. Activities in this club include crafting handmade gifts, assembling kits of various items for people in need, participating in coat and food drives, and more. Members will also be encouraged to volunteer outside of school through Small Things Matter to make a direct impact on the community. This could be in form of packing and distributing food to low income families, packing school supplies for kids in need, and more depending on the organization's events. The goal is to spread positivity and kindness by supporting families in need in the community. Members will earn SSL hours from attending meetings and contributing to the club.
