$10,000 grant to help youth at risk

We are pleased to have approved a $10,000 grant to Youth Off the Streets and Kids Giving Back, for their program “Cook4Good + Grow”.  This partnership aims to re-engage students with positive community participation during their time of crisis and isolation.  The program will be undertaken during the April to September 2018 school term and will benefit 16 disadvantaged youths, aged 14 to 18.  The program will enable youths at risk to contribute 400+ hours of community services and prepare 1,000 free meals which will be distributed to needy community members, benefiting 8 charities.
