SNAP ASSISTANCE RESOURCES & BACKPACK PACKING

The temporary pause of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits in Tennessee due to the government shutdown has created additional hardship for many families who rely on those benefits for groceries.To ensure every child in our school community has enough to eat during this time, our Backpack program is doubling our food distributions in November. 
  • Want to make a financial contribution? Just $20 covers 8 additional meals this month for one of our kids.  If you are in a position to help, you can DONATE MONEY HERE!
  • Want to volunteer your time? Help pack backpacks of food for our kiddos. We will be packing this Saturday morning, Nov 8th in the WB Cafeteria at 9:00 am. 
  • Is your family is in need of assistance during this time? There are resources that can help!  CLICK HERE for a full list of resources available.
