Holy Redeemer High School students recently collected food and monetary donations to benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen. Homerooms collected canned goods, non-perishable food items and money to support the kitchen’s efforts to feed the area’s hungry. The drive was coordinated by the school’s Student Leadership Council as one of several community service projects conducted each year. With some of the donated food items are representatives from Ken Chmielewski’s sophomore homeroom, from left: Emily Johnson, Wilkes-Barre; Jaclyn Leighton, Wilkes-Barre; Jennifer Loughney, Pittston; the Rev.
