Kids Voting Leon County needs volunteer organizations to staff  voting stations at many precincts around Leon County to assist school children who come with their parents and provide them with a real to life voting experience. Children learn the importance of democracy and the responsibilities of being informed voters by participating in a special curriculum provided to the schools and then the children have the chance cast an official-looking ballot at the Kids Voting Station.  For more information or to volunteer go to the Kids Volunteering Leon County Website at www.kvlc.org or contact Ann Spangler at kidsvoting@gmail.com.

There are youth in our community who have spent time in foster care and are now living on their own. These youth do not have a space reserved at anyone’s table and no means to prepare a great meal without your help. Please help us to supply our youth with a Thanksgiving basket so they will experience the support of a caring “family” community.  For donations and information please email JoNetta Chukes or call (850) 410-1020 ext.123.
