ACADEMICSSERVICE - PAGE 10 hunger walk

On September 16, 2021, through a partnership with Christian Appalachian Project, LCA hosted the first Hunger

Walk outside of Rockcastle County, where the event started 10 years ago. Both campuses participated in the

event, and more than 1,300 students and staff collected 7,431 pounds of non-perishable food items for CAP’

s

pantry efforts.

LCA's 2nd-5th grade students learned about hunger awareness by participating in hunger education stations, which where paired with some fun outside activities. The school's preschool-1st grade students participated in an indoor activity where they each pushed a filled shopping cart along a path to an empty refrigerator. This helped demonstrate to them how the food they donated would help those in need. Students at both campuses also participated in special prayer time for those receiving the donated food.
