Two Lynnfield fourth graders have started their own business to help raise money for local food pantries.

The following is an announcement from Gathering Change, Inc.

Katie Storer and Sarah Griffin proudly display their business cards for Smiley Sunflowers, a business they created in order to raise money for Gathering Change, Inc., a charitable organization that supports food pantries. 

These inspiring 9-year-old Lynnfield residents make friendship bracelets, cootie catchers, book marks, drawings and more to sell to friends and relatives and then donate their profits to GCI.
