Education foundation and district ramp up winter food distributions
Summary
The district and Education Foundation raised funds and prepared a multi-phase food-distribution program to deliver boxes intended to feed a family of four for 16 days; staff requested volunteers and laid out logistics for several distribution phases.
District staff and the Education Foundation described a multi-phase food-distribution effort that raised about $22,000 and previously distributed roughly $17,000 in gift cards and food support across schools. The effort will distribute family food boxes intended to provide a family of four with supplies for 16 days and will run in several phases with volunteer shifts.
Staff said the first phase begins tomorrow and involves on-site packing; later phases will include community pickup and scheduled distribution windows. "La caja es para una familia de 4 personas para 16 días," a staff member said when describing the contents and purpose of the boxes. Volunteers and staff outlined traffic and logistical adjustments from prior distributions to improve flow and access.
