Senior High on a Mission

Senior High on a Mission

This past Sunday night, senior high youth met at the YMCA Healthy Kids Network warehouse. Over the course of an hour, teens and adult leaders packed over 500 bags that will go home with Elementary and Intermediate School kids in Licking County that are experiencing food insecurity. At this time, the Healthy Kids Network serves approximately 480 kids each week, but Sarah Bowles (the director of this program) said that that number would more than double if the Licking Heights school district was served. She also said that with the SNAP program benefits set to expire, this program will likely see a large influx of students over the next few months.
