This week we have a team update from the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh, Keystone.
Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh teen leadership club, Keystone, is preparing bagged lunches for the Day by Day Warming Shelter in Oshkosh as a part of Lead2Feed’s World Hunger Leadership Challenge. The challenge is a team-based, service-learning leadership program that seeks to solve hunger issues through service learning. Every two weeks, teens prepare lunches at the Club and then decorate the lunch bags with inspirational messages before they are dropped off at the shelter to be distributed to guests before they leave the shelter in the morning. Day By Day Warming Shelter provides night to night temporary shelter, a warm evening meal, and a breakfast for adults with no other sheltering options. Keystoners also worked on a similar project back in January with the shelter making care packages for guests. The care boxes contained items like soap, shampoo, a flashlight, clothing and the outside of the boxes were also decorated with inspirational messages like “the word impossible itself says I’m possible,” and “every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.” “The teens realize the messages they write on each lunch bag or care package may be the only positive words that person hears all day.” said Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh Center Director Lori Fields. “These projects have really opened Keystoners eyes to how important it is to encourage and uplift others who are struggling and how much that can make a difference in their day.”
