On Saturday, February 20th, the Muhlenberg Job Corps Center participated in a local fundraising event for the Muhlenberg County 4H Back Pack Program – the Penguins Plunge! Funds raised from this event feeds local children through the schools resource centers. These children are sent home every weekend with a back pack full of food.
A huge shout out goes to Robbie McGehee-Weight, Recreation Supervisor and student Eliaynis Rodriquez for taking the icy plunge on behalf of the Center. The two were extremely lucky because Saturday temps reached the 70’s but the water was much, much colder than that, low 30’s. MJCC’s total donation was enough to sponsor three local children.
