Donate Baseball Equipment for Needy Kids



Twelve-year old Mount Laurel resident Jeremy Shpigel is collecting new and gently used baseball equipment for needy kids.  A box for the collection is located in the lobby of the Mount Laurel Library and will remain there until Sunday, April 14.  Donations of bats and balls have already begun rolling in and more are welcome. 

Jeremy has undertaken a community service project in conjunction with Pitch in for Baseball, to collect baseball equipment to give to kids from all around the world, including the United States, who cannot afford the equipment and to communities that suffer from environmental disasters.  An example is the assistance that Pitch in for Baseball provided to the town of Ludlow, Vermont, which sustained significant damage from Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Additional collection sites are located at Lenape High School, Adath Emanu-El Synagogue, and the Mount Laurel Fire Department’s three stations. Additionally, there will be a collection box in the Thomas Harrington Middle School’s gyms on January 26, January 27, February 2, February 3, February 9, and February 10.

Please consider making donations of baseball equipment and help disadvantaged youths enjoy America’s favorite pastime!
