Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz is paying off student lunch debt for all juniors and seniors in Hillsborough County Public Schools, and all students K-12 in Pasco County Public Schools.
Idlewild is donating $21,367.33 to students in Hillsborough, and $17,000 to eliminate all lunch debt for students in Pasco, the school districts said.
Idlewildâs Sr. Pastor, Ken Whitten, says their church community wanted to let families in the area know they have support, even during these uncertain times. The church hopes this generous donation can be a source of hope during the pandemic.
