It’s almost time for the 27th Annual Huston Electric Golf Outing! On Saturday, August 27th, we will be playing to benefit two deserving local charities, Food Finders Food Bank and the YMCA.
Founded in 1981, Food Finders has donated over 7 million pounds of food annually to Tippecanoe and 15 surrounding counties. While that’s pretty impressive, they actually do even more to help the community. For low-income Lafayette residents, the JP Lisack Community Food Pantry serves as an easily accessible emergency resource. The Food Finders Food Bank Food Resource & Education Center offers nutrition classes, SNAP assistance, and referral services to other social-service organizations. By teaching families about budgeting, meal preparation, cooking, and nutrition, Food Finders aims to help them become more independent.
The Lafayette Family YMCA believes everyone should have access to a healthy lifestyle, regardless of age, ability, or income level. With two locations, they have been an important part of the Lafayette community since 1889. Through their youth programs, children can get much needed exercise and make new friends in a safe environment. Parents work out worry-free thanks to the included childcare program, and young adults develop leadership skills and form relationships with their peers in teen programs. All of this is done with a focus on their core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Last year’s Huston Golf Outing was a big success, and we think this year will be even better! Join us at Coyote Crossing Golf Course on Saturday, August 27th for a fun game of golf, lunch, and a great cause.
