Braving below freezing temperatures, a group of 48 Maria Regina High School students recently slept overnight in cardboard boxes during the 26th Annual BOX City to create awareness of and support the region’s unsheltered homeless including children. In addition, they contributed about $1,000 to help Midnight Run fulfill its mission of coordinating relief missions to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City. Dale Williams, Midnight Run Executive Director, addressed the students gathered on the courtyard of the renowned all-girls Catholic high school before they began their selfless,12-hour commitment to a critically important community cause.
Maria Regina High School is a Catholic school where young women are encouraged to achieve academic excellence, empowered to be compassionate leaders, and enriched with the Spirit to live a life of Charity, Truth, and Service to others. To learn more, visit www.mariaregina.org.
