Abundant Harvest Kitchen Opens to Provide Meals for Spring Residents in Need
The Abundant Harvest Kitchen is a new Spring-based nonprofit food pantry founded by the Saint Isidore Episcopal Church community. They are working to provide meals for area residents who are experiencing food shortages due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. Located at 24803 Oakhurst Drive, Spring, 77386, the Abundant Harvest Kitchen officially opened its doors March 30. The pantry is open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with half-hour time slots reserved for individuals to visit the facility and to pick up food. For more information, including food order requests, volunteer signups and donation opportunities, go to www.harvestkitchen.org.
Multiple Free Meals Being Distributed on Mondays and Wednesdays
Starting Monday, April 13, Spring ISD will implement changes to its free meal distribution program to better serve families and staff during the extended COVID-19 closure.
The district will now be handing out packets of multiple-day meals on Mondays and Wednesdays only. On Monday, families will pick up meals for Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesdays, they will receive meals for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
“We’re making this change to minimize the number of family trips to schools and ensure we do our part to “Stay Home, Stay Safe” as ordered by state and local officials,” said Chief Operations Officer Mark Miranda. “Fewer trips will be more convenient for our families.”
Because larger kitchens and food storage are needed to accommodate this change, the following sites will be offering meal pick-up:
● Anderson
● Bailey
● Booker
● Clark Primary
● Claughton
● McNabb
● Reynolds
● Westfield
Parents will be able to pick up on Mondays and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at all sites. Evening pick up will be available at Bailey, Claughton and Westfield from 4 to 6 p.m.
In another change, families will have the option of just popping their trunks so the meals can be placed inside. District officials remind families that meals are available to all children 18 years and younger but they must be present in the vehicle to receive them.
Social Distancing Should Not Mean Social Isolation
Young children need to have quality time with their caregivers and other important people in their lives. Social connectedness improves children’s chances of showing the ability to cope with difficulties and overcome obstacles regardless of the situation.
Here are some creative approaches to staying connected during this time of self-distancing:
● Using online video chats with friends, and family members outside the immediate home
● Writing letters to friends and family members
● Playing online video games with friends
● Playing board/ and card games
● Cooking and baking together
● Write a thank you letter to your postman and leave in your mailbox for them
