Alyssa Santoro and the Royal Palm Beach Wildcats Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids embraced the spirit of gratitude by creating over 300 Thanksgiving goodie bags, complete with heartfelt holiday cards.

Each goodie bag was carefully put together with festive treats and essentials, offering a little extra warmth and joy to children and families during the holiday. The handwritten holiday cards added a personal touch, reminding recipients that they are valued and appreciated.

Why This Matters

Thanksgiving is a time for togetherness and gratitude, but for many families, it can also be a challenging time. A small gesture—like receiving a goodie bag filled with treats and a thoughtful card - can bring joy and reassurance to those who need it most. The Royal Palm Beach Wildcats demonstrated how a simple act of kindness can make a lasting impact and spread the true spirit of giving.

How You Can Help

At STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, we believe that generosity brings communities together and creates moments of hope. Here’s how you can make a difference:

• Donate non-perishable food, holiday treats, or cards to support similar initiatives.

• Volunteer to assemble or distribute goodie bags to families in need.

• Join or start a chapter to lead community service projects that uplift and support others.

Thank you to Alyssa Santoro and the Royal Palm Beach Wildcats for sharing the gift of kindness and gratitude through their Thanksgiving goodie bag initiative.
