On Friday, the Lima Leadership Class of 2006 gathered at Allen County Children Services to complete a project called "Love Luggage". The project has members from the class fill backpacks filled with items such as toys, hygiene products, coloring books, blankets, and more. These bags will go to children from babies to 18 years of age entering foster care. Since the project started, nearly 1,400 units have been assembled.
