Sarasota News Leader November 15, 2013 Page 77 CORRECTION In the early version of the Nov. 8 News Leader, because of an editing error, the article City Commission wrap-up mentioned the wrong date for the presentation of homelessness consultant Robert Marbut's report and recommendations. It will be provided at two times on Nov. 25 — in Venice in the morning and Sarasota in the afternoon. More details will be provided later about the locations and times. COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TEACHES KIDS ABOUT 'GIVING BACK' On Saturday, Nov. 9, the Community Foundation of Sarasota County hosted Camp Giving, a program for children ages 8 to 13 and their parents and/or grandparents, at All Faiths Food Bank. "The goal of this program is to inspire the next generation of philanthropists," a news release says. "The children learned about the value of 'giving back,' discovered how to use the online nonprofit resource The Giving Partner to find causes and organizations they care about, heard from a high school volunteer — Bailey Peters — and enjoyed a tour of All Faiths, learning how the organization distributes food through Sarasota and DeSoto counties, the release points out. For the last hour of the program, the children and their parents helped sort and package food — estimated to provide 1,560 meals for recipients — for delivery. Each of the young participants received a "Moon Jar," which helps children make decisions about saving, spending and sharing, and a $25 Giving Spirit Card, which the children may donate to any U.S. charity of their choosing, the release notes. The children of Camp Giving sorted and packaged enough food to provide an estimated 1,560 meals. The participants were (from left) Tyler, Nick, Kaki, RG, Maddie, Ellie and Noah. Contributed photo
