Anna Grace’s passion for volunteerism began after learning that her grandfather, an immigrant from Latvia, struggled with food insecurity throughout his adolescence, inspiring her to create a program called One Meal One Future to raise awareness, funds, and access to food for those in need. Through her program, Anna Grace coordinates food drives, serves, and restocks local food pantries and seeks financial contributions. She partners with larger organizations like the Mid-South Food Bank and Feeding America to assist in their greater efforts and hopes to do even more with Feeding America and other food banks across the country during her year as Miss Teen Volunteer America.
