Filling a Plate: Educating a Mind

Navya will speak about her journey and efforts on Thursday evening, May 21, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Batavia Public Library, 10 South Batavia Ave., Batavia, IL. The purpose of the presentation is to bring the community together to find ways to reduce food insecurity and also learn about ways to use our talents and skills to make a difference in the lives of people in our neighborhoods and throughout the world. Navya realized early on that she could not make a big difference by herself, so she approached community leaders and educators wherever she went and asked for volunteers. Today, the foundation provides food, education classes, and mental health counseling to children and young women. Kane County Democratic Women will be collecting food items to donate to the Empower Futurewave mission. Join us to learn about the needs in the community and ways you might want to help. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions from the audience. The presentation is free and open to the public.
