A group of Lind-Ritzville Middle School Associated Student Body (ASB) and Junior Honor Society students led by LRMS History Teacher Jason Sanger and LRMS Math Teacher Maureen Harder traveled to the home of Gale and Irma Gfeller of Lind.
The lifelong supporters of the Lind and Ritzville School Districts recently passed away.
After an estate sale, the family of the Gfellers requested the remaining contents be donated. Carly Gillette, who organized the estate sale, contacted the Lind-Ritzville Middle School ASB and National Junior Honor Society about donating the items to Goodwill.
Due to Gillette’s efforts, the students filled a Goodwill trailer with the items and earned $578. The students decided to donate the money to the Spay Neuter Your Pet (SNYP) for the Lind community.
SNYP is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to help offset surgical costs to spay and neuter animals. The money is dedicated to people with a Lind address for spay and neuter vouchers.
“Our students saw this as a good opportunity to give back to the community of Lind and I know the Gfellers would be proud of this contribution,” said National Junior Honor Society Advisor Maureen Harder.
Community members can contact SNYP by sending a message to their Facebook page.
