PORT ANGELES — Teenagers in the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula are learning to prepare balanced meals at its Port Angeles and Sequim branches thanks to a $10,000 Peninsula Home Fund grant.

“We have strong USDA support for our component meals,” said Janet Gray, the chief development officer for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula. “We’re maxing it out. This is needed because we can’t do more through that program.”

The Peninsula Home Fund allocated a total of $90,000 this year to 15 nonprofit organizations in Clallam and Jefferson counties.

Now in its 36th year, community members already have contributed $27,569 since Thanksgiving toward next year’s grant cycle, which will be administered through a partnership with Olympic View Community Foundation.
