Grandma’s Love Inc. seeks to expand its mission
Charity group starting literacy program for kids
BAY RIDGE – A charity group that works to address hunger by putting non-perishable food in backpacks and delivering them to schools for kids from underprivileged families to take home is now seeking to expand its mission and is looking to encourage children to become problem-solvers in their communities.
Leaders of Grandma’s Love Inc. are hoping to convince schools in Bay Ridge, Sunset Park and Coney Island to take part in Kids for Peace, a literacy-advocacy program where kids read books about such topics as bullying or the environment and then work with their teachers, parents and each other to find solutions on a local level.
