Opportunity to Enrich Mount Olive Elementary

As you know, Mount Olive Elementary is the designated elementary school for children in Lakemoor Hills, located just across Alcoa Hwy and down Maloney Rd. It is also the place where we are assigned to vote, so most of you have visited that property. A non-profit – Little Chefs, Big Changes (LCBC) has developed an after-school program at Mount Olive to teach children about nutrition and food preparation. The Lakemoor HIlls Garden Club has chosen to support this endeavor, and thought some of you who were not garden club members might be interested also. They need funds and different cooking equipment to help more students be able to participate.

Here is a little more about the project from Sarah Wharton, Executive Director of LCBC.

We’re excited to introduce you to Little Chefs, Big Change (LCBC)—a Knoxville-based nonprofit that teaches kids how to cook nutritious, affordable meals. At Mount Olive Elementary, their after-school classes help students learn essential cooking skills, try new foods, and enjoy a full meal they’ve cooked themselves featuring veggies, whole grains and legumes. 

The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club is teaming up with LCBC to raise funds so more Mount Olive students can participate and so they can continue offering classes each semester. Your support goes straight to the cooking program at Mount Olive and will allow LCBC to serve more kids in our community. To donate, check out their campaign called Nourishing Mount Olive Kids, One Recipe At A Time. 

Want to donate supplies instead? You can use the LCBC Amazon wishlist to buy the supplies needed to build Mount Olive their own cooking kit.
