Iason Elder’s Eagle Project

Description

My Eagle project is to install shelving racks and landscaping for a new food choice pantry located at 1317 High Road in zip code 32304. This zip code has the highest rate of food insecurity in the state of Florida. Almost half the children living in this zip code live below the poverty line. A food choice pantry, which is like a grocery store but with donated food where those in need can select food based on preference or food restrictions, would help solve this issue. It will be open various hours each week, allowing working families to participate.

Beneficiary

A New Day Initiative in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank

Fundraising Goals

About Me

My name is Iason Elder, and I am 14 years old. I am in Troop 109 in Tallahassee, FL. I’m a life scout and currently the Senior Patrol Leader for my troop. This project is very important to me because I believe that everyone—including children—should have access to food. I have volunteered with food distribution centers since I was a toddler.
