JANUARY IS NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH!
President Obama has officially proclaimed January 2012 to be National Mentoring Month! We know the difference positive adult role models can make in the lives of challenged young people. Last year, Impact NW connected nearly 100 at-risk youth with mentors.
SAFEWAY AWARDS $2,500 TO KELLY SUN FOOD PANTRY
Safeway Inc. has announced a $2,500 grant award to help Impact NW's Kelly SUN Food Pantry feed more than 60 high-needs family each week. Safeway's contribution will allow Impact NW staff to purchase nutritious groceries for Kelly Elementary students who might otherwise go without food at home. Impact NW launched Kelly's on-site food pantry in 2008, after discovering the high rates of childhood hunger within the student body-- nearly 80% of Kelly's students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
