On February 28th from 12 to 2:30 pm at Shaws of North Beverly and Stop and Shop on Elliot St., a group of six grade students from Briscoe Middle School will be accepting donations for their shampoo drive. The students are part of a group called Destination Imagination. This is a club that works on team building and problem solving. These students will be competing in a tournament in March and they must complete a community service challenge. This year, the DI group is partnering with Beverly Bootstraps to host a shampoo drive. As a nonprofit organization, Beverly Bootstraps provides critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency. The middle school students chose shampoo because SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, (formerly known as food stamps) does not cover home essentials, such as shampoo because they are considered taxable items.
