Spaghetti Dinner to support The Gravity Project!
The Gravity Project was started by Jamie Hoke, a fifteen-year-old freshman at Eastern High School. She is involved in The Leadership Project, and We the Youth of Washington County. Her participation in these programs led her to consider how she can give back to the community and take on a leadership role. She was inspired to start a Christian outreach project called “The Gravity Project: Pulling Youth Closer to Christ” for our community.
