Coalhurst Youth DO Crew preparing emergency food hampers for families in need
COALHURST, AB – A group of youths in Coalhurst are giving back to their community.
The Coalhurst DO Crew, operated through Family & Community Support Services (FCSS), has been awarded $1,800 from the 2024 Youth in Action grant program.
The program is funded by the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southern Alberta, and the funds are being used to prepare one-time emergency food hampers for Coalhurst families who have been identified as needing assistance with food security.
Zakk Morrison, Executive Director of FCSS says, “This project is completely youth-led, meaning the youth came up with the idea, helped to write and submit the grant, and package the food hampers. The Coalhurst Youth DO Crew are committed to supporting the Coalhurst community and FCSS is proud to help develop their leadership skills by helping them along the way.”
