Huddleston is a volunteer and supporter of the Sufficient Grace outreach program, which provides nonperishable food items to school-age children in area public schools. A chance meeting and quick sidewalk conversation with Huddleston at the London Public Library inspired Armfelt, a summer lunch program and H.E.L.P. House volunteer, to get involved. Both women are passionate about the power of putting new books into the hands of children who typically don’t have access to new books or the option of choosing “just right” books for themselves. With the support of area churches, businesses and service organizations, Huddleston and Armfelt have set a goal of collecting 300 new books. Book collection sites include London Public Library, Cappy’s Pizza, Phat Daddy’s, Madison County Vineyard, London Church of the Nazarene, St. Patrick Church, First Presbyterian Church of London, and Madison County Department of Job and Family Services. Additional collection sites will be added. New chapter and picture books for children in grades 1- 3 (ages 6-10) will be collected at these sites until July 19. Volunteers will distribute the books to children attending the Andy Morse, owner of Cappy’s Pizza in London, and resident Kelly Armfelt promote a children’s book collection that aims to put 300 books in the hands of local children ages 6-10. New books can be dropped off at Cappy’s and several other locations around London. Assistant principals named Madison-Plains Local Schools has two new assistant principals.
