Skylar Medes and Bob Hoffman

The organization ePIFanyNow encourages and spread acts of kindness in the Lansing area. Their upcoming annual Y-PIF awards are for young people doing good in the community.

WKAR’s Brooke Allen speaks with the organization’s founder, Bob Hoffman, and Skylar Medes who was one of last year’s Y-PIF recipients.

For more information about the contest or to nominate a kid who's doing good in the community, visit ePIFanyNow.org. To stay informed about Skylar's project, follow Suitcases for Kids on Facebook.
