THE WINS PROJECT, INC.
Meadville, Pennsylvania has a poverty level of about 25%, which is over twice the national average. The WiNS Project, Inc. works to provide weekend nutrition for students in each of the Crawford Central elementary schools. We regularly serve over 500 students each week!
The WiNS Project, Inc. began in November 2013 as students in Second District were reporting that the thing they were most thankful for was food. This spawned President Sue Mulvey and Vice President Leslie Jensen to wonder why students were responding this way and the answer was simple, they were hungry. Hungry bellies make it hard to concentrate, be productive in the classroom as well as outside of it, and most importantly grow. This understanding is the call to action, thus The WiNS Project, Inc. was born! With the first donation in March of 2014, WiNS was able to begin its distribution of nutrition that following October.
We are now in our fifth year of feeding students in the Crawford County area and are so excited about the great things that are continuing to happen!
We have been able to distribute food in each of the five elementary schools in the Crawford Central School District and have also given out food at Seton Catholic School and Calvary Baptist Christian Academy upon request.
Over the past few years we have distributed over 60,000 packages of weekend nutrition, equaling about 240,000 meals for children in our area!
