Scott Tucker (R), co-presidednt of Maple Leaf Farms, recently presented a $5,000 check to Alek Jansen (L) and Connor Singrey to support the Boomerang Backpack program at Leesburg Elementary School.
Jansen and Singrey have assisted Tracey Akers in implementing a pilot program at Leesburg for their Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy White Paper project.
The program provides students with nutritional food items during the weekend. The Leesburg program will begin this fall.
Any questions concerning the program can be addressed to Akers at Edgewood Middle School.
