LANSING, Mich. \u2014 For the next two weeks, the Lansing School District won\u2019t be passing out food like it regularly does. So today, they did their best to give out the meals they had.<\/p>\n
Paden Statler is a principle at the Lansing School District. He said COVID-19 has impacted families in Lansing, and LSD is trying to help as much as they can.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that the winter break is two weeks, and so we really wanna just provide that extra help to our families this season,\u201d Statler said.<\/p>\n
Someone who helps the school district with these meals is Carol Jenkins. She picks up food from the district and delivers them personally to families who can\u2019t pick it up themselves.<\/p>\n
Jenkins said this year has been hard for a lot of people in her community, and especially for herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a really rough year for me. I lost my daughter at the beginning of the year. She was only thirty years old,\u201d Jenkins said.<\/p>\n
Despite her own hardships, Jenkins still finds time to give out food. She\u2019s turning her grief into a gift for others.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a mission. It\u2019s something I feel I have to do,\u201d Jenkins said.<\/p>\n
The Lansing School District will continue giving out food in the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LANSING, Mich. \u2014 For the next two weeks, the Lansing School District won\u2019t be passing out food like…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3411,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
