Two local women raising money to pay off kids school lunch debt

Two local women are raising money to pay off school lunch debt for families in the Washington County School District who were impacted by COVID-19.

Sydni Makemo and Kenzie Carter say they have raised over eight-thousand dollars out of their nearly 15-thousand-500 dollar goal.

The duo originally started their Facebook page to help pay off the debt of students on reduced lunch as they felt this group was in the greatest need.

Sydni Makemo and Kenzie Carter say they're trying to wrap up their joint effort by the end of today as the school district plans on balancing the books tomorrow.
