Once again the Lauralton community reaches out to the poor and neglected in our local community by assembling Thanksgiving baskets for several dozen families. Each homeroom donates a variety of food items and gift certificates for turkeys. Happy to share what they have with those less fortunate, the students deliver the baskets to Mercy Learning Center in Bridgeport for distribution to needy families. This annual event is one of the many service projects the young women of Lauralton do to carry out the Mercy mission of Lauralton Hall and to emulate the love of Mother McAuley for the poor.
