Peirce Elementary School, handed out clothing, books, toys, and ShopRite gift cards to their 45 students and their families in celebration of the holidays. The items, purchased via a $4,000 fund-raiser the women organized through Facebook and Instagram, were distributed outside the Anna B. Pratt School at 22nd and Susquehanna Streets.
