5th Grader Launches "Race To 100,000 Meals" For Thanksgiving

Now more than ever it seems like people are being more and more inspired to make a difference in their communities, especially this guy right here.. 5th grader from North Texas, Orion Jean. His mission: donating 100,000 meals to those in need by Thanksgiving! People from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Dallas, Texas are going to these different drop off points and donating a packed meal containing a bottle of water, a piece of fruit, a tuna pouch or applesauce cup, a granola bar and of course a positive message!

This isn’t new to Orion, last summer he took first place in the Think Kindness national speech contest..he used the $500 first prize award to organize a follow up project, the Race to 500 Toys drive and after collecting hundreds of toy donations, distributed the toys to grateful hospitalized kids in the Dallas area. So far, Orion has collected over 4,000 meal donations in the race to 100,000 meals!!

If you want to help Orion reach his goal, you can donate via Cash app/PayPal and get more info by CLICKING HERE!
