With approximately 1,200 students in the Nebo Utah School District at risk of experiencing food insecurity, the meals they eat at school might be the only meals they get. According to Monica Hullinger, Nebo School District social worker, many students go without food when school is out for Christmas break. To ensure that these students don't go hungry over the holidays, the Utah County 4-H Livestock Ambassadors launched their Meal Kits for Kids project in November. With help from fellow 4-H members and their families, a team of eight ambassadors assembled and delivered over 200 meal kits to the school district for students in need.
