Leadership Vestavia Hills provides lunches during spring break to Vestavia students

Leadership Vestavia Hills has stepped up to help students have free meals during spring break this week.

The group decided for their project to partner with local restaurants to support them while ensuring students in the Vestavia Hills City School system have food this week. The school system is offering lunches during the break due to the outbreak of the coronavirus but was off during spring break.

Shelley Gentle with Leadership Vestavia Hills said it was a way to kill two birds with one stone, supporting students and local restaurants.

Restaurants like Slice and Ashley Mac’s, along with other local businesses, have given food. The group has taken donations to pay for the food and raised about $7,600 as of Wednesday.
