Local literacy council to pack 10,000 meals for Lebanon families on Dec. 6
Summary
Dr. Carol Larson of the Cleveland Literacy Council told the council about a "Let's Feed Lebanon" meal-pack set for Dec. 6 to produce 10,000 meals for local distribution; she requested use of the Mill Center and help with sponsorships and volunteers.
Dr. Carol Larson, representing the Cleveland Literacy Council, updated the council on the group's literacy services and announced a local food drive and meal-pack called "Let's Feed Lebanon." The event is scheduled for Dec. 6 and aims to pack 10,000 shelf-stable meals for distribution through Shepherd's Pack, senior centers and local food banks.
Larson said the program supports basic literacy learners, HiSET/GED students and second-chance citizens on probation and parole, noting the council could help by making the Mill Center available for one day to prepare and one day to pack meals. "We can raise that money through lots of different ways... We need $1 for every meal we can make," Larson said.
Council staff confirmed facility availability and the project will proceed with sponsorship and volunteer outreach.
