Participants in Kids’ College, Jamestown Community College’s educational program for ages eight to 12, helped several community organizations this summer.

In the Craft It Forward class, children made specialty items to donate to Lutheran, the senior living facility, New Leash On Life animal rescue and sanctuary, St. Susan Center soup kitchen, and UCAN City Mission. Items included non-slip socks and cards for Lutheran residents, dog, cat and bird toys for NLOL, artwork and laminated placemats for St. Susan Center, and no-sew blankets for UCAN City Mission.

“This class was an amazing opportunity for our youth to give back to our community,” commented Carrie Southard, Kids’ College instructor. “The kids absolutely loved making items for our local organizations. They put much effort into each piece so there was a lot of pride when we presented the items to the recipients on the last day of class.”

Each representative shared with the kids their organization’s mission, as well as thanked them for their contributions, creativity, and generosity. Students received sunglasses from Lutheran and, as a special treat, NLOL brought a rabbit, tortoise, black lab puppy, and French bulldog to meet the children.
