 P R O G R A M       Sally  Schaadt  introduced  Ed  Bohren  Exec.  Director  of  the  Newark  YMCA.    Ed  has  been  involved  in  the  Y  in  OH,  PA,  &  W  V  for  the  past  28yrs.    Ed  is  a  graduate  of  Ohio  University  with  a  master’s  in  Physical  Ed.  and  served  in  the  Marine  Corp.     Ed  mentioned  his  wife  was  first  in  her  group  at  our  5K/10K  Maple  leaf  Race.    She  participated  in  the  walk.    He  said  they  have  used  a  mixture  of  maple  syrup  and  bourbon.  I  didn’t  catch  if  that  was  over  pancakes  or  was  it  a  drink;  I  guess  it  depends  on  being  hungry  or  thirsty.      YMCA  started  in  Newark  in  1876.    Mr.  J.  R.  Davis  was  elected  as  the  1st  president  of  the  local  Y.    The  Y  was  located  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Church  St  and  N.  3rd  St.  The  Y  closed  the  downtown  facility  and  moved  to  West  Church  St.  at  its  current  location.    There  is  now  a  branch  in  Pataskala  on  Broad  St.    It  has  14,000  members.         Ed  Showed  a  film  about  the  history  of  the  YMCA  and  its  development  as  a  Christian  organization  serving  the  homeless,  the  hungry,  the  young  and  families  to  encourage  healthy  living  and  social  responsibilities.    The  Y  started  as  a  men’s  organization,  but  now  serves  the  entire  family.  The  Y  is  for  forever,  in  giving  and  support  for  the  community.                          Ed  introduced  Doug  Lowe  who  spoke  about       the  “Knapsacks  for  Kids”  program,  which  helps       feed  children  that  may  need  a  meal,  or  otherwise       they  would  have  nothing  to  eat  on  the  weekends.         The  program  had  its  start  in  2014  at  Carson  Elementary  School  in  Newark,  when  his  daughter  mentioned  she  saw  kids  taking  extra  food  at  the  lunchtime.    This  is  not  supposed  to  be  done,  but  the  teachers  do  not  enforce  it.    He  met  with  friends  September  14,  2014  to  develop  a  program  to  provide  meals  for  students  when  they  are  not  in  school.  They  feed  children  that  are  need  of  food  on  the  weekends.      They  visited  Nashville  Tenn.  that  has  a  program  to  feed  children  on  the  weekends.    They  loaded  prepackaged  foods  on  a  truck  and  delivered  them  to  the  children.     The  program  started  at  Carson  Elem.  School  with  46  students  and  has  grown  to  300.    They  now  serve  some  children  at  Northridge.    We  rely  on  teachers  to  give  us  references  of  the  children  needing  assistance.     They  get  the  food  from  the  Licking  County  Food  Pantry  thru  Chuck  Moore.    Each  child  receives  4  –  9  pounds  of  food,  

which  will  provide  them  six  meals  for  the  weekend.    The  food  can  consist  of  pasta,  cereal,  peanut  butter,  etc.    They  have  distributed  118,000  lbs.  of  food.     It  takes  about  2  hours  to  package  1500  –  2000  packages.    It  was  done  at  LICCO  for  33  cents  a  package.    They  decided  instead  to  rely  on  volunteers  and  use  the  money  to  buy  food  instead.  The  food  in  the  knapsacks  is  delivered  to  the  school  for  distribution.  Extra  food  is  distributed  at  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas  holidays     It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  children  to  return  the  knapsacks  to  the  school  to  be  refilled.         Why  do  it?    Children  that  are  hungry  are  more  susceptible  to  illnesses,  are  less  able  to  learn,  have  more  mental  health  problems  in  depression  and  suicides,  and  exercise  less.    If  they  come  to  school  hungry  on  Mondays  they  are  less  focused  on  their  schoolwork  and  need  to  visit  the  school  nurse  more  often.     How  can  you  help?  Volunteer  to  package  the  food.  It  takes  about  30  people  at  a  time  to  do  this  in  the  2-­‐hour  period.  Donations  of  funds  are  always  welcomed.    Questions?  

1. What  is  the  cost?    It  cost  $2.84  per  child  for  the  weekend.  2. How  do  brothers  &  sisters  affect  the  food  sent  home?    Sometimes  

extra  is  sent  or  a  note  giving  location  of  where  free  meals  can  be  obtained.  

3. What  are  the  needs?    They  would  like  to  extend  the  program  to  middle  schools  but  the  idea  of  students  picking  up  a  knapsack  while  good  for  elementary  might  not  be  good  for  a  middle  school  student.    Or  possibly  have  a  food  pantry  in  a  school.  

4. Has  there  been  feedback  from  the  parents?  Yes,  teachers  have  received  notes  from  parents  and  grandparents  that  are  taking  care  of  the  children.    Parents  have  sent  notes  when  they  no  longer  need  help.    

5. Is  it  possible  to  have  a  packing  party?  Yes  there  can  be.    The  schedule  usually  is  at  5:00  –  7:00  pm  at  the  food  pantry.    If  there  were  less  than  30  they  would  be  teamed  up  with  others.
