Pen Pals Seminar: The LunchBox

On November 14, I attended a seminar about food insecurity in Ohio, and I also learned about a program called The LunchBox Ohio. The LunchBox Ohio is a summer food program that provides nutritious lunches over the summer to children who have high food insecurity in Columbus. They especially provide in areas that are considered a food desert. I really enjoyed that one of their main focuses is providing food that is nutritious because it is very important for developing children to have all of the right nutrients and vitamins. I really enjoyed hearing about this non-profit, and I hope to become involved with a similar organization in the future. After hearing about The LunchBox Ohio, we assembled snack bags so that our pen pals had food over Thanksgiving break because some of our pen pals may be food insecure.
