PAINESVILLE, Ohio — In Painesville, one 9-year-old is using her club to help food insecurities in her city.
“I know there's a lot of little libraries around, and I thought it would be cool to have one with food in it,” said Irene. “I thought this was a wonderful idea. It takes a lot of courage for these kids to come up and speak in front of adults in the club,” said Ernie Richmann with the Painesville Lions Club.
After that, Irene and five other Cubs then came up with a proposal that convinced the Lake County YMCA to agree to put the pantry box on their campus. Then the Lions would keep it stocked.
