Students from Lewis and Clark Community College’s YouthBuild AmeriCorps program have been partnering with the Alton Salvation Army recently to help restock their food pantry and serve hot meals. There is now a plan in the works to step it up a notch and host a “Brunch and Blessing Bags” event.
YouthBuild member Gabby Ellis tells The Big Z she is excited to move to this next step.

Students from Lewis and Clark Community College’s YouthBuild AmeriCorps program will host a “Brunch and Blessing Bags” event at the Salvation Army soon but had to postpone yesterday’s planned inaugural due to illness. Once a new date is set, it will include a home cooked meal and blessing bags that contain sanitation items and masks to help protect from COVID-19.
YouthBuild member Gabby Ellis adds that each time the YouthBuild teams up with the Salvation Army, it’s been a positive experience for all involved. She credits L&C Adult Education student Alexandra Thompson-Blockton for her work organizing this event.
