Youth track and field program supports local nonprofit at Second Sole
1/3
Fast Feet Youngstown presented Project MKC with $1,000 Friday at Second Sole.
Fast Feet Youngstown is a track acclimation program that introduces children K-6 to track and field events. Spring 2022 was the program's first year, and nearly 150 kids participated.
Now, the program is helping out a local non-profit that also focuses on helping kids.
Project MKC, which stands for Making Kids Count, is a non-profit organization located in Youngstown.
According to the non-profit's website, it distributes over 55,000 diapers a month, provides about 25 Hope Totes a year to children going through chemotherapy, and offers after-school tutoring and a summer food program.
The money presented to Project MKC will support the organization's ongoing programs.
