While Michigan continues with its stay-at-home regulations in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, Anna’s Kindness volunteers have still managed to find a variety of creative ways to help others in their neighborhood and their community.
- Forsythe Middle School 8th grader Heather Hale not only baked brownies to feed the homeless at Mercy House, but she also made buttons that people can attach to their glasses which can hold face mask bands. The buttons can help prevent skin breakdown behind the ears from extended mask wear.
- Skyline High School’s Makayla and Sam Klein and their 5th grade brother William all play the trumpet. So they practiced a few songs and then went out to play a little music for the seniors around their neighborhood … from the sidewalk, of course.
- Wines Elementary School 5th grader Becca Van Lent sewed personal face masks for her neighbors.
- Ann Arbor Pioneer sophomore Hayley Marchand, who has gardened with an elderly neighbor for years, is calling her regularly just to chat and provide comfort and support, as she remains in her home during the shelter-in-place order.
- Skyline High School freshman Arya Joshi baked coffee cakes for Alpha House, and his brother Arjun picked out canned goods, bars, and boxed pastas to deliver to the transitional center for homeless families.
- Girl Scout Troop 40429 created Easter/Spring cards for the long-term elderly residents at Glacier Hills senior care center. Well done Maddie, Claire, Nina, and Anneka, who are all 6th graders at Forsythe Middle School.
- Clague Middle School 8th grader Emily Plum painted stones to brighten up the neighbors’ homes.
- Bailey Edison, an 8th grader at Forsythe Middle School, went out into his neighborhood to deliver hand sanitizer.
- Forsythe seventh grader Nico Colias and his younger brother Toby delivered toys to very excited (and bored) neighborhood kids.
