WOODLAND HILLS, CA – Lucy Babcock, a sixth grade student from Woodland Hills, CA has been awarded a Disney Summer of Service grant through YSA (Youth Service America). The grant will support Babcock in leading a community service project that addresses the issue of childhood hunger.

Service activities will take place Sunday April 30, 2017 from 1:00pm – 6:00pm at the Topanga Community Center, 1440 N. Topanga, CA 90290. At Lucy’s Second Annual Kid’s Charity Concert, youth bands will perform to fight childhood hunger. The lineup includes Alinea, Alone Together, Coyotes of Topanga, Max Tomack, Moxie, Permanent Record, The Brothers Gage, and The Campbells.
