Community contributions provide lunches at Starbuck School
October 10, 2019
The Starbuck School District was able to expand its Brown Bag Lunch Program from four days per week to five, thanks to a recent donation from Columbia Pulp. John Begley, CEO of Columbia Pulp, presented the $1,000 check to Starbuck Superintendent Kevin Graffis. The program fell short $1,500 so had planned to provide lunches four days per week. Martha Lanman, administrator of the Columbia County Public Health Department, asked the community for contributions, and Columbia Pulp's Sponsorship and Donations committee answered in a big way. Grants and donations have also been received from individual donors, the Blue Mountain Community Foundation, Columbia REA, and Columbia County Public Health.
