Mairin Mullett is a member of the 2026 Coshocton County Youth Leadership class, which had to complete a Pay It Forward Project.

On March 21 she completed her project by organizing a cooking day. Volunteers made 25 pans of family-sized meals and eight quarts of soup that were distributed to three shelters and resource locations in the Coshocton community.

"This project was incredibly fulfilling, and I am grateful to everyone who donated ingredients and provided monetary support," Mullett said. "I’m also grateful to those who helped me cook for those who benefited from the comforting, home-cooked meals."
