In this segment from Zoom into Action, students from the Kids Care Club at East Hanover Middle School in New Jersey have created a project called Bags of Love. The club collects and bags donations of clothing, bottles, and other supplies for mothers of infants, and children who cannot afford these supplies on their own. Angelica believes it is important to do community service, or projects that help local neighborhoods. Angelica says that it is very rewarding to know that you are helping others and making them happy. Community service builds awareness that there are people who need kindness and support.
