SPASH Key Club completes military care package project

Metro Wire Staff

Stevens Point Area Senior High School Key Club members recently completed their last project of the school year.

The military care package project, coordinated by the student service organization, was financially sponsored by community groups and individuals. Fifty large boxes stuffed full of treats are being shipped overseas to Wisconsin military service personnel.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way, even if it’s not always the way you had planned, right?” said adviser Carol Colby. “We had to adjust a few plans because we couldn’t gather to assemble but it all came together.”

Colby said the group couldn’t have completed its project without the “selfless generosity” of organizations and volunteers who helped the students complete the project.

“They benefit from projects like this and it’s my understanding that the troops will greatly appreciate the shipment,” she said.

The SPASH Key Club is sponsored by the Plover Kiwanis. It is open to all interested students. Projects this year included providing meals for warming shelter, making blankets for the Family Crisis Center, and stuffing backpacks for foster children, among other activities.
