Trion High School senior Jana Price has been awarded the Helping Hands Scholarship, recognizing her dedication to community service and volunteer work through the Helping Hands program at Trion City Schools.
Price earned the scholarship after completing more than 500 hours of community service, reflecting years of commitment to helping others through the program. She is the daughter of Kyle and Kelly Price of Summerville.
The Helping Hands program is part of the Helping Hands Ending Hunger initiative, which began in the Trion community and focuses on helping students and families facing food insecurity. Student volunteers collect unopened food from school cafeterias and help organize food bags that are distributed to students and families in need, helping ensure they have food for nights and weekends.
The scholarship is awarded to graduating seniors who demonstrate exceptional service and dedication to the program while making a meaningful impact in their school and community.
School officials praised Price for her hard work and compassion, thanking her for the many hours she has invested in helping others through the Helping Hands program.
