Donation helps keep Jefferson County elementary students warm

Vehicle Service Group (VSG) is helping students in Jefferson County, Indiana school districts stay warm this winter by donating hats and gloves to every elementary student in the county. The donation was part of VSG’s effort to give back for Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement encouraging people and organizations to transform their communities.

The Stay Warm – Stay Healthy program provided a logoed hat, in school colors, a pair of gloves and a card with winter health tips to more than 2,200 students at Jefferson County’s five public and private elementary schools. The program’s mission is to promote health and safety during the winter months among the community’s children. VSG and school officials came together on December 1 to deliver the winter gear to the students.

“We are so very excited to be a part of VSG’s Stay Warm – Stay Healthy campaign,” said Ashley Schutte, Communications Coordinator at Madison Consolidated Schools, the county’s largest school district. “VSG continues to be a very generous educational partner and is a blessing to our schools in many ways for all students. The gift of warmth is a meaningful way to show how much they care for our kids. These beanies and gloves are a wonderful gift for our Future Cubs that will keep giving year after year.”

“It’s our job as community leaders to ensure the health and well-being of those around us,” said David Fischmer, Director of Marketing for VSG. “The Stay Warm – Stay Healthy program provides students with the essentials they need to help stay healthy during the cold winter weather and show a little school pride at the same time.”
