Local 12-Year-Old Owns and Operates Food Pantry

CHARLOTTE, NC — Most 12-year olds enjoy social media and playing their video games but, one girl in Goldsboro, North Carolina is using that for a good cause. Mackenzie Henson is organizing a food pantry that serves hundreds of people each month. Mackenzie started the pantry last year serving about 30 people at her church. It has since grown and serves more than one thousand people each month. Mackenzie pays $1,300 dollars a month to rent a 2,400 square foot space. She makes most of that cash with fundraisers.
