A Butler Township event earlier this summer continues to help a local organization provide for kids in need.
At their Monday night meeting, the Butler Township Commissioners presented a check to the Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation with $6,000 in proceeds from their 2nd annual Guys Who Grill event in June.
Audray Muscatello Yost who was on hand to accept the donation on behalf of the foundation says the money will be used to support the soon to begin 10th year of the Kids Weekend Backpack Program.
With help from 65 volunteers, the organization fed over 400 students per weekend last year buying food items from food banks and discount retailers. Three meals are also provided each holiday when many students in need are not able to access a healthy school meal.
