Community Resources
We wanted to make sure all of our families know about some of the awesome resources in our area! Please contact Mrs. Hodson, school social worker, if you would like more information or to utilize any of these resources.
Joy Closet-
This is a low-cost thrift store in Gardner and they have generously provided us with vouchers for FREE clothing, shoes, linens, books, and small household items. Each voucher is good for 20 items per household.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace-
This is an organization of amazing volunteers in Gardner who build, assemble, and deliver top-notch bunk beds and new bedding to children and families in need.
BackSnacks-
Harvesters’ BackSnack program provides a weekly backpack filled with nutritious, child-friendly food for schoolchildren to take home over the weekend throughout the school year. Students who have signed up will meet in Mrs. Hodson’s room at the end of the day on Fridays for “Kids Kafe” to check-in and receive their BackSnacks, putting them straight in their backpacks. We will start this October 4th so please sign up by emailing Mrs. Hodson at hodsonj@usd231.com
