Free Food Boxes

Many of our families are missing our monthly school-based School Markets....and so are we!!  To help us out, our partners at Food For Free are offering food boxes for families at 4 of the school Market sites.  We are offering these free boxes to our free lunch families and will they be available at lunch pick-up sites twice a month for those who register. If you are in need of this service, email Zakkiyya Witherspoon, your family liaison, to get registered.
