(KAIR)--The Salvation Army of Atchison, last week, benefited through a student donation, courtesy of a grant from an area healthcare provider.

KQ2-TV reports the students, seven in total, attend the Troy Middle School. They received a grant from St. Joseph, Missouri's Mosaic Healthcare, administered through the EmpowerU program, which allowed them to provide 50 bags of essential items to benefit Atchison's homeless population. The donated bags included food, clothing, and hygiene products.

Atchison was chosen, the TV station reports, due to the lack of homeless infrastructure.

The bags were donated Tuesday.
