June 28, 2022 — Thanks to a $15,000 grant through Save the Children and our partnership with Bloom we are helping feed local youth this summer! Our club members came together for a potluck, and packed approximately 217 bags (about half of what we plan to pack) of food that will be dispersed throughout the summer at various partner sites. Food bag sites include the Tulelake Library, Tulelake elementary and high school, Merrill elementary school, as well as the Merrill and Malin Libraries.
In addition, we received an additional $2,000 grant through Save the Children towards a summer reading program. We have partnered with our local libraries to offer fun prizes as well as book prizes.
