Many students rely on school being open for meals, such as breakfast and lunch. When schools are closed, these children could go hungry.
I am coordinating with our social worker, Mykeia Smith, to collect food items for our Backpack Buddies.
If you are interested in participating, please send these items to school and label them RE: Mykeia Smith:
* gift cards to grocery stores, such as Food Lion
* easy meals, such as cans of soup, microwavable mac & cheese
* canned vegetables, fruits
* snacks, such as bagged popcorn, squeezable applesauce, goldfish, etc
We don't know what the next week will bring, and we want to make sure that these families are cared for if schools need to close.
Thank you for your help! At Swift Creek, we shine #BrighterTogether
