When a group of volunteers gathered last spring to plan a summer lunch program for students in need, they had no idea how many families would request assistance. The number turned out to be much larger than anyone anticipated.

Lynda Carlino, retired Executive Director HSE S.P.O.R.T.S., was part of that volunteer group and told the HSE school board that roughly 6,000 meals per week this past summer were passed out to local families in need. More than 300 volunteers helped make that happen.
Also, the board Wednesday night recognized the HSE High School Key Club as Fishers YMCA Center Advisory Board Youth Volunteer(s) of the Year for 2018. Members of the Key Club have been volunteering with the Fishers Y for many years. They volunteer for several of the special events, such as the Halloween Extravaganza, Wishbone 5K, Dad/Daughter Dance, Give Hope Ride and more.
