The Ball Toyota Family donated more than $300,000 dollars to 261 schools in West Virginia to help schools start a "Virtual Pantry." All eight Lincoln County Schools were chosen to participate in this project. The schools were chosen with the help of the West Virginia Department of Education and Communities in Schools.
What is the Virtual Pantry and how will it help students? QR codes and suggestion boxes will be placed in all LCS schools. If a student has a need for something, they can discretely scan the QR code or drop a note in the suggestion box detailing what they need. The school will then be able to fill the need for that student.
LCS would like to thank the Ball Toyota Family, the WVDE, and Schools in Communities for giving back to our students. LCS Superintendent Jeff Kelley was at the event yesterday and said the following:
"We have great staff in our schools that do a tremendous job helping our at risk kids. What the Ball family has done here has contributed even more to that. We greatly appreciate it and there is no doubt in my mind these funds are going to go to the kids who need it most."
