The 2024 YSCF Youth Action Board‘s area of focus is to provide better access to nutritious food for the youth in the community of Yellow Springs and Miami Township.

The Youth Action Board believes that access to healthy nutritious food is a basic and necessary human need that should not be restricted by one’s socio-economic status, race, identity, mobility, or any other possible discriminating factor. Young people in the community struggle to find fresh nutritious and affordable food consistently at school, in town, and in their homes. We believe continued support for this can increase our youth’s capacity to thrive physically, intellectually, and emotionally into adulthood.

We invited all local nonprofits to apply for this grant with a new project or extend a current project that the YSCF Youth Action Board will help fund up to $10,000 to assist in providing support for accessible nutritious food to the youth of Yellow Springs and Miami Township. a grant of $7,250 was awarded for the restoration and operation of the Yellow Springs Community Kitchen Project located at the First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs.
