PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania —
Whether it’s an ornament at the bottom of the box, or a nutcracker collecting dust in the attic, hand-me-down decorations can find a new home thanks to one local high school student and his mom.
Grant Benedum and his mom, Christine, created a mission called, ‘Giving Garland,’ earlier this year.
They have partnered with Norwood-Fontbonne Academy and Our Mother of Consolation Catholic Church in Chestnut Hill to collect decorations from students, parishioners, and their families.
The result has been a roaring success so far. And they were already able to make a donation to ‘Women Against Abuse’ for a shelter in Philadelphia.
The family, who is from Glenside, will continue to accept donations through the end of January 2026.
