Students Provide Special Delivery for Habitat for Humanity

Decorated mailboxes up for bid at Neshaminy Mall.

Students at 12 area schools including three in the Bensalem district – Faust Elementary, Shafer Middle and the High School – have taken ordinary mailboxes and turned them into works of art through a new program with Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County and Neshaminy Mall.

The schools were provided with a mailbox and $50 for supplies. The mailboxes were decorated in elementary, middle school and high school art classes and are being displayed at the mall through May 9.

The mailboxes are up for bid and the money raised will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County. In addition, the school that raises the most money for Habitat will be awarded a $500 American Express gift card, courtesy of Neshaminy Mall.
