Jarrett Allen sponsored his third annual Meals + arithmetic Thanksgiving event last month, where he distributed holiday groceries to 25 local children and their families while simultaneously educating them on arithmetic and budgeting. Children of Promise, an after-school program and summer day camp specifically created to satisfy the needs, interests, and concerns of children left behind by a parent serving time in jail, provided the youngsters for Allen’s effort.
