Worthington Kilbourne High School is fortunate to have the support of a committed group of 30 plus Mom's. These Mom's volunteer their time to "Make a Difference" in the lives of our entire Kilbourne Community, including students and staff. Just this past year, they initiated a Community Cares Program called The BackPack Program to help feed our WKHS students who do not have enough food over the weekends. Typically, these students qualify for free and reduced lunches, which is approximately 20% of our population. These ladies work each week to put together bags of non-perishable foods that our students can take home in their backpacks for the weekend. Our school counselors worked closely in this process as to be sure all names were kept confidential.
The Worthington Activity Club set aside $1,500.00 to pay for this program. However, because of the Kroger Community Rewards Program, a local book club fundraising program, individual and corporate gifts, they were able to donate over $3,500.00 to this new initiative for kids. The generous contributions of all stakeholders is greatly appreciated.
"It takes a village..." and we definitely have a village at WKHS.
Thanks for all that you do for our Kilbourne Community!
