The students of the Union Grove High School chapter of the National Honor Society went into the community to raise $10,000 to help purchase protective gear for the Union Grove-Yorkville Fire Department Tactical Response Team.
Each year, members of the Union Grove High School National Honor Society select group projects, in addition to individual service opportunities, that allow the members to positively impact their community. This year, the members selected the Union Grove-Yorkville Rescue Task Force.
“Our NHS chapter felt the need to support our local community by protecting the ones who help provide protection for us," Chapter President Megan Baker said. "We feel as though it is important to be proactive in our community and help where the need is.”
