SILVER SPRING, Md. (CBSDC) - Students at a Catholic school in Silver Spring filled an over-sized van with basic needs items Friday and shipped it off to New Jersey for Superstorm Sandy relief.

The students of St. Andrew Apostle School — who had the day off — donated the basic requirements for everyday life to victims who are still suffering. They collected baby wipes, diapers, clothing and canned goods — boxed it all up, and put it in a van headed to St. Benedict Catholic Church in Holmdel, N.J.

The parish has become a donation hub for those affected by the storm, and the students accepted donations through Thursday — which was enough to stuff the van and an SUV.

Volunteers will help to distribute the donated goods when they arrive and also prepare food for 2,000 people.
