Food Assistance for Families

We know that some families in our community are in need of food supplies. We've compiled some resources that might be helpful.

The first resource is the school itself. They have a limited supply of food and personal care supplies that can be disseminated to students in need. (The name of the program escapes me at the moment, but they will know what you mean when you ask.) By reaching out to the school, you not only may receive some kind of assistance, but the school can then know what the current needs of our community are and adjust their responses dynamically.
