Last week we said, "See ya later!" to our Summer Marketing Intern, Abby Kidwell. Abby made a huge impact on our organization in the short time she was with us, but our favorite project of hers is our M4Y Summer Video. Check this out to learn about why YOU should be a Mentor!

When Community Partners come together to share ideas, knowledge and resources, core memories are made & more needs are met! 🫶🏼

Last night Mentors For Youth partnered with Community Chew, Purdue Extension Dubois County, The Playce, and Jasper Public Library to provide our older matches with an opportunity to learn about food safety, nutrition, and how to cook healthy meals on a budget. They created enchilada burrito bowls! 🌯

Our younger matches got to hang out at The Playce and learn how to make their own yogurt parfaits! 🍓

Each kiddo went home with a week worth of recipes, supplies for another meal (sponsored by a generous community member), a meat thermometer and a magnet listing safe cooking temperatures for meats.🍝

We’re so grateful for a community that works together to make magic happen for our kiddos!! 🧡💙
