With spring break right around the corner, the PTSA will be creating larger pantry packs to send home with our food-insecure families next week. We provide these bags to Bell families every week; however, we provide more food to each family prior to long weekends and school breaks. Our hope is that providing more food during the school breaks will reduce their hardship when they are unable to obtain meals through the school.
The PTSA partners with the Lake Washington Schools Foundation. Additionally, the PTSA sets aside funds in our budget each year to make this program possible; however, it is costly to provide a bag of groceries to 32 families every week. Therefore, we do need continued support from the community. If you're able to help out, we would greatly appreciate it.
DONATE FOOD DIRECTLY TO PANTRY PACKS VIA OUR AMAZON WISH LIST
If your family needs support (e.g., food, clothing, family resources), please reach out to the school counselor, Brittni Zackery, at bzacjery@lwsd.org. Note: all information is confidential between the family and the school counselor. The PTSA has no visibility to which families need help. We simply work with the community to fulfill the need.
