Ralph Reader Food Shelf
The Ralph Reeder Food Shelf is ready to help. If you are in need of free food for your family please call the food shelf appointment line at 651-621-6280. The food shelf has implemented a fast and user-friendly drive thru service model in our parking lot that provides participants with pre-packed "to-go" bags of food. This temporary service model takes into consideration the need for social distancing as well as the ability to provide food to many families in a short period of time. Families will receive canned and boxed items, hygiene, frozen meat, fresh milk, produce, dairy, deli and bakery items.
What can you do to help?
We are already seeing a spike in need and donations from the community are important. At this time, we are asking people to make an online donation at www.ralphreederfoodshelf.org or mail in a donation to the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf - 2544 Mounds View Blvd. Mounds View, MN 55112. For every dollar you donate, we can purchase up to $8.00 worth of food. Plus, Minnesota Foodshare is matching a portion of all donations received at food shelves through April 30. While we love volunteers, we are not currently accepting any new volunteers at this time. Should we have any service interruptions or changes to our hours it will be posted on our Facebook page as well as on or our website at www.ralphreederfoodshelf.org.

Speaking of Fish!
JOLLY PHONICS
Here is a picture of the song Teacher Laurie sang so you can practice with your child.
Action: Let your hands come together gently as if an inflatable fish is deflating and say, "ffffff"
Don't forget to go on a scavenger hunt for items in your house that begin with the "F" sound.

Hi from Teacher Kelly.
In the next video you can see and hear frogs from the pond in my backyard.
Can you make a sound like a frog?
