Local organization donates $500 to lake area buddy pack program

A local group is helping provide food for needy children in the lake area.  The Lake of the Ozarks swing dance club recently donated $500 to the buddy pack program which provides food for over 300 children in five different school districts in the lake area.  Buddy packs are filled with kid friendly, nutritious food that students take home over the weekend or holiday periods to supplement their meals at home.  The swing dance club donates to local charities each quarter with part of the proceeds from their monthly dances.
