Oxford Area High School Helping Hands Club Earth Day Cleanup 2012
On April 19, members of the Helping Hands Community Service Club at Oxford Area High School participated in the eighth annual Earth Day spring cleanup in Downtown Oxford in conjunction with Oxford Mainstreet, Inc.
Helping Hands participates in the annual Martin Luther King Day of Service and Make a Difference Day, and has raised funds for the Make a Wish Foundation, Heifer International, the American Red Cross and the Chester County Crop Walk.
Helping Hands contributes to the community in various other ways – babysitting, visiting the elderly, planting flowers, assisting in the annual Oxford Mainstreet Inc. Easter Egg Hunt and more.
