The Little Miami Local School Board voted March 20 to accept a $5,790 donation from a local nonprofit called Homegrown Alliance to pay down current student lunch debt, and an additional anonymous $100 donation for the same purpose.
Amanda Hollingsworth and Amanda (Van Mill) presented as representatives of Homegrown Alliance during the public-comment portion and said the donation came from a community fundraising push that raised $1,500 in a few hours and a $4,200 gift from an individual named Pete Mingle. The presenters said their nonprofit organized the fundraiser to help families who do not qualify for free or reduced-price lunch but nonetheless face hardship.
Board members thanked the donors during the consent agenda vote to accept listed donations. The motion to accept the donations was approved by roll call.
The presenters asked the board to approve the donation during the meeting; the board placed the acceptance on the consent agenda and approved it as presented.
