Round up at @GiantFoodStores!

Thank you to all of amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and community members who made our largest ever Holiday Assistance Program a reality! This is what our nearly full warehouse looked like just last week! Now, time for a long winter’s nap! 😴

THANK YOU to the thousands who are making our holiday efforts possible, truly every dollar and every cent that has been entrusted with us is making an impact. 14 cents can provide mac and cheese. 17 cents can provide a snack 61 cents can provide a pound of pasta

Great news! We will be the recipient of the @MartinsFoodMkts Feeding School Kids initiative! Jan 1–Mar 31 you can round up at the register to support our efforts to eliminate childhood hunger! This year our needs have increased 40%, making every donated cent even more important!

So excited to be at the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth conference to support and learn from amazing homelessness experts from across the country, including these two stars from Frederick County Public Schools and @WPSedu !

We need sponsors! Consider registering as a Holiday Assistance Sponsor for Bright Futures! sites.google.com/fcpsk12.net/br…

Welp, that was a surprise! Thank you to the Northern Shenandoah Valley Alliance for Children, Youth and Families, and Judge Kellas for recognizing our program and honoring us with the Tigger Award!

We had a challenge on our hands when our student food pack sign ups jumped 20% overnight. When we ran the numbers, we were short at least 40 bins for our food program to be possible. In 24 hours @monoflointl created 50 new bins for our Food Pack. We are incredibly grateful. ❤️

Thank you Navy Federal Credit Union for volunteering today for United Way’s Day of Caring! This awesome group of 20 worked hard painting our walls, sorting food, and fixing up our landscaping! #gratitude #NavyFederalCreditUnion #navyfederalserves
