Program:  Kathy Petersen, Youth Pantry

Out of 2,200 students in Petoskey and Harbor Springs High School there are 730; 1 out of 3 who are food insecure especially on weekends. The pantry purchases $1,800 worth of food, toilet articles and clothes per week. They share the kids dreams and help them with food, clothing, toilet articles and encouragement to write a different story in their lives. It is a place to be cared about unconditionally and not to be judged for living in poverty. Emmanuel Episcopal Church accepts the donations for this program and they have their own account to accept these funds

Next Week’s Program:  Becky Goodman, Downtown Development Board
