Battle Creek’s Amanda Sellers said she’s trying to build a better life for her and her three kids, ages 7 to 10.
The
32-year-old mother said she’s going to school in Delton, trying to get
her high school diploma. She has some experience at a Sears store, and
she wants to be a manager there.
For
now, Sellers said she’s a stay-at-home mom, and she sometimes struggles
to make sure her kids have enough to eat. That’s why she came to St.
Thomas Episcopal Church on Wednesday morning for the free pancakes,
sausage, fruit and cereal offered during the summer.
“Sometimes
I run low on food,” she said. “Especially breakfast, because I have
three growing kids and they want two to three bowls of cereal. We run
low.”
The Sellers aren’t alone.
