The nutrition effort will resume when school starts again the end of August.
The need for transporting food bags from Mt. Pleasant to Shepherd continues. These bags are then distributed to children who could benefit from extra and convenient food over the weekends.
The volunteer effort required is picking up about 100 plastic grocery bags at Kinney School off Pickard Street in Mt. Pleasant at 3 pm every other Thursday and transporting them directly to Shepherd Elementary. It takes approximately 1 hour to complete this task, the strength to carry several bags at once, and a vehicle.
If you would like to be added to the schedule, please contact Arnie Hammel at 989-828-5415. Thanks for making an impact on the children of the community.
