Here is something you may not know! In 2017 an idea to start a program through the Portage Resale Center that would involve high school students was developed by Heather Stouffer, Board Member. The mission of the Youth Council of the Portage Resale Center is to encourage youth leadership & active community involvement in philanthropy by observing local nonprofit organizations and responding to community needs through its grant-making process. This year this amazing team granted $15,000 to fifteen 501-3c community agencies that help others in our community!
The students in this years council:
Zoey Bauer and Bradley Fetzer from Woodmore; Gabbie Heilman and Will Osborne from Port Clinton; Madison Hand and Ryan Supinski from Oak Harbor; Lyla Sprague and Madden Witt from Genoa. Not pictured, Charley Lenthe and Ethan Mc Donald from Danbury.
Advisors are Heather Stouffer, Mary Coffee, Mary Maine and Brian Koenig.
We are very proud of these fine students in what they have learned about their community and how to give back to helping others!
