PVCS Youth Chamber Says: "Hunger is not seasonal." (Learn and Serve America Grantee)

At a Learn and Serve retreat in 2006, the PVCS Youth Chamber chose the Yavapai Food Bank as its major cause. The program developed was called the Community Food Partners. Three levels of sposorship were offered to the community. The Bronze Level required no money from the partner and the Youth Chamber provided it with a collection bin to collect nonperishable food 12 months a year. The Silver Level asked for a $125.00 donation to the Food Bank. In return, the donor received a food bin and got its 1 1/2" logo on the Youth Chamber t-shirt. The Gold Level asked for a donation of $250.00. In return, the donor received a food bin and a 3" logo on the t-shirt. As of August of 2008, we had 25 partners. The ideas of the bin, the t-shirt, and the slogan on the shirt ("Hunger is not seasonal") all came from Youth Camaber students.
