Bodystrong Taekwon-do Assistant instructor Dr. Linda Allen and other students from Body-strong took it upon themselves to provide some sustenance for hungry children on the peninsula.

On Saturday, Dec. 17, they bought food items together and prepared 31 packs, as part of the food bank’s “Friday Back Pack program” to be provided to the children in need over the weekend.

Some items recommended were small cans of tuna, granola bars and cups of instant oatmeal.

Additional items were donated to the food bank.

Jessica Hernandez, from the Port Angeles Food Bank, gave a short but extremely informative talk regarding hunger, particularly as it relates to children and how the tenets of Taekwon-do require its members to be good stewards in their community.
