Sparkill, N.Y. - The STAC cross country team
donated articles of clothing to the victims of Hurricane Irene in
Owego, New York. Owego is the hometown of senior, Chelsea Klinger,
who started the initiative to make a difference.
Klinger, along with her parents, Walter and Kimberly, arranged for
the pick-up and distribution of the clothing. The Spartans
collected new and gently used clothes in an array of sizes. In
Owego, many people lost all of their possessions and many lost
their homes. The town is working to support the victims, but the
widespread effects of the hurricane have made it a slow
process.
