Lending
a
helping
hand.
Children relying on food assistance throughout the school week are faced with a meal gap during the weekends without additional support. Students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program are provided meals each Friday. By providing supplemental food packs, the Woolf Pack Fund ensures students have access to the nourishment they need every day of the week.
Every little bit helps.
