Service Projects

This month’s service project is being led by Inspire Team Member Charlotte Stant from New Jersey. 
The project is to help feed the hungry for the holidays.

Charlotte Stant - These are some photos from my nonprofit’s Thanksgiving event! We were able to a provide 64 families with 2 weeks’ worth of food and a Thanksgiving meal, which was incredible. All these photographs were taken by my photographer Jennifer Morris.

Kylie Sandberg - I’m a part of the York County Youth Commission which serves as a communications link between the youth of York County and the Board of Supervisors by researching and presenting student issues, problems, needs, ideas and suggestions. The YCYC also makes recommendations regarding programs provided to youth, and participates in their establishment when appropriate. Service on the YCYC increases members’ knowledge of local government and provides opportunities for leadership skills development and close teamwork with other students from across the county. As a Youth commission we participated in the Mayflower Marathon food drive on Sunday November 22 and collected over 20 turkeys, over 100lb of non-perishable food items, and collected over $300 just in 3 hours!
