WEST AFTER SCHOOL CENTER IS AWARDED THE

FEED OHIO SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM GRANT for 2009

 

PICK a SITE - JOIN US FOR LUNCH and LEARNING ACTIVITIES

 

The West After School Center has been awarded a grant to further expand the Summer Lunch Program for the children  of Lancaster and the surrounding area this summer. This competitive grant is awarded by the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (GOFBCI). Last year, the WASC served over 20,000 lunches during the summer months, and we hope to increase participation and meet the needs of our children in families in nine  serving sites in our city:

  1. West After School Center
  2. Robert K Fox Family Y
  3. East Elementary School
  4. Tallmadge Elementary School  
  5. Cedar Heights Elementary School
  6. South Elementary School
  7. Medill Elementary School
  8. Lancaster Club Apartments (Sanderson area)  
  9. River Valley Apartments

 

 

In addition to the grant from the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, the West After School Center is pleased to announce that grants in support of the summer lunch program have also been received from the Children's Hunger Alliance and Lancaster's First Presbyterian Church.

      

 

Hey Parents!  Think your kids might be bored after a few weeks of summer vacation?  You know they will be and they'll miss their friends. Help extend their learning this summer by enrolling in the Eastside Center for Success's three week summer enrichment program at East Elementary School.

Our Goals:

1.  Create and sustain a community dialogue and awareness campaign that helps every individual learn to make healthy choices about what and how much they eat as well as how much daily exercise they get. 

2.  Encourage children to engage in healthy and productive extra curricular activities at home and at school.

3.  Teach families how to prepare meals and economical family meals and snacks.

4.  Showcase the wealth of community resources and personnel that can help kids and families develop healthy lifestyles.

5.  Demonstrate the positive impact and benefits that participation in before and after school programs can have on children's mental health and social development.

          

Coming in June. Learn the healthy benefits of eating lean beef and also how to safely grill and barbecue foods outdoors all summer long - tips courtesy of the Ohio Beef Council and the Lancaster Fire Department - all on the next episode of Healthy Living for Kids.
