Twin Valley High School's Mission Possible recently visited The Clock Tower at Reading Hospital to drop off care packages for long-term care patients. This month’s baskets were filled with cozy pillows, coloring books with markers, fall crafts, fidgets, and message boards—all chosen to bring comfort and joy.
Last year, Mission Possible had just 10 members. Now, over 100 students are involved and the group continues to expand, finding new ways to support local hospitals beyond their monthly care baskets.
#MotivationMonday: Generosity is contagious! Be inspired by TVHS Mission Possible and find your way to pay it forward.
