A pair of brothers in Nashville are showing you’re never too young to make a positive impact on your community. After volunteering with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during one of their family nights, eight-year-old Lucas decided he wanted to help support the charity.
His mom, Maria Rivera, says her son was trying to think about what he could do to raise money and he decided to make a difference through art. Lucas got his younger brother, Sebastian, involved and together, they created and sold special crayons to family and friends. They called it the Happy Crayon Project and it was such a success, their donation was able to provide 4-thousand meals to families in need.
“What it really highlights is that kids can give back in their own unique way and it doesn’t have to be the way that your parents or grandparents did it,” said Courtney Blaise, Director of Community Engagement at Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
