ANTIOCH, Tenn. (WTVF) — Some students in Antioch are giving us all a reason to be proud.
Students at Lighthouse Christian School on Blue Hole Rd. raised more than $21,000 to spend on supplies for meal kits. The kits will be sent to refugees at the largest refugee camp in Bangladesh.
According to school officials, the meals are distributed in the Rohingya Refugee Camp. The 600-acre camp is home to 1.2 million refugees originally from Myanmar, where many are not welcomed anymore.
You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.

This project is also a part of the school's ministry. The meal kit distribution allows the school to share their religious beliefs with refugees receiving their meal kits.
The best part? Any extra meal kits will help people locally. They'll be given to The Branch Ministry to hand out to people in need.
