Columbia English teacher Kate Hastings wraps presents for residents at East Greenbush Town Hall.

The East Greenbush Teachers Association embraced the holiday spirit by volunteering at two different locations this past weekend. The teachers packaged food donations into holiday baskets for 97 families at the Nassau Resource Center food pantry and wrapped presents for East Greenbush residents at the town hall.

“It was a great experience helping those in need this holiday season,” said Columbia social studies teacher Dan Wagner.
