On December 13, staffers and students at Manor college in Jenkintown wrapped and delivered gifts to 24 student families, with a total of 47 children.

After Manor identified students who needed assistance during this holiday season, utilizing Giving Tuesday in November the school reached out to the Manor College community for donations. The response was overwhelming and included a gift from WSFS Bank.

Each family received the gift that they asked for, and also received a blanket, stocking stuffers, a $100 gift card to ShopRite, and a copy of Dr. Seuss‘ ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’

From the Manor College website:

“The help couldn’t have come at a better time,” says one student, holding back tears. “My father has been very sick for 10 years and many times he’s out of work. I’m the first in my family to even go to college, so I’m trying to help. With so many younger siblings, this Christmas would not have been as bright without Manor College.”
