Two Crestwood High School graduates, Jackie Elick and Jess Light, are raising money to start their nonprofit organization, the JumpStart Cart! Their mission is to support young adults with special needs transitioning from the academic setting to the workplace. Once up and running, they'll provide vocational and community-living skills training for the young adults, by operating the nonprofit food truck. They are currently raising funds to purchase a food truck, equipment and needed supplies. With help from volunteers, once they've raised the necessary funds, the food truck will be located at various outdoor events, festivals, and markets across the area. Read more of their story here!
To contact this organization, EMAIL or call 570-599-2296.
