BEREA, Ky. (LEX 18) â A Madison County program that serves underprivileged students meals during the summer recently received a $30,000 grant. Berea Kids Eat sets students and their families up for success by teaching nutritional value, through locally sourced food.
This may just look like an ordinary garden. But this garden is used to close the nutritional gaps among kids in Berea. It s a space where we ve actually been able to bring camps out and bring kids to grow their own food and market it. We expanded from having one small junior farmer s market here, to having a much larger one in partnership with the Berea Farmer s Market, program coordinator Martina LeForce said.
