In 1992, the Make A Difference Club was born. At that time there were only four members. Today there are more than 100. The Make A Difference Club is comprised of Ansonia High School students from 9th through 12th grade. Students raises money to give people in their community items they need by holding different events.
Students take one and purchase the gift described, wrap it and put it under the tree.
The Make A Difference Club is a part of the High School Volunteer Council of the Valley, and the Valley United Way. The club reports to the Council on a monthly basis on their achievements for the month. She often sees the appreciation of those she and others help through the smiles on their faces, and sometimes tears. The money that they raise goes to people in their community for different situations. Sometimes club members don't know the names of individuals they are raising money for, only the cause.
