Boys & Girls Club holds Meal Prep Fundraiser
by Shaylyn Thornton
On September 26 the Edson & District Boys
& Girls Club held a meal prep fundraiser to
assist in raising funds for their after school
programming.
The fundraiser involved getting recipes and
instructions for easy to prepare meals, and then
prepping them in a class to take home to cook
later. A second aspect of the fundraiser was
through Tupperware orders.
Participants would get to make five meals that
each feed four people, and each received 4-5
pieces of Tupperware as part of their registration.
The meal prep was offered by Shelby Shelton,
who handles all of the grocery shopping and
planning involved. Boys & Girls Club Program
Director Shelby DePee had heard about meal
prep through another group in town, and decided
to give it a try.
