Teens for Healthy Youth Bag for Bucks at Piggly Wiggly to Raise Funds

Teens for Healthy Youth (THY) members from May River High and Bluffton High bagged groceries at LowCountry Alliance for Healthy Youth’s Business Sector Representative, David Martin’s store, Piggly Wiggly.  The goal was to raise funds for the LowCountry Alliance for Healthy Youth (LCAHY) and their youth coalition, THY.  THY members shared their vision and mission statements with customers at Piggly Wiggly and asked for donations while bagging the customers’ groceries.  David Martin is a long-term champion of youth and Teens for Healthy Youth.  THY members raised $1,000 for their efforts. THY plans to engage in Bagging for Bucks annually as part of LCAHY’s fund development efforts.
