Application Deadlines: The Backpack Food Program and the Reformer Stocking

THE BACKPACK PROGRAM

It’s time to sign up for the weekly Vermont Foodbank BackPack Program.   The BackPack Program provides a bag of non-perishable food, and healthy snacks to your child each Friday.  The food (i.e., raisins, fruit cocktail, cereal, soup, crackers, milk etc.) is contained in a small plastic grocery bag and will be put in your child’s backpack. Families who qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch program are given priority and encouraged to sign up.  For further information, contact Kathryn Mason or Tricia Hill at 254-3740.  Sign-up deadline is  Wednesday, September 24th.    ^.

Christmas Stocking

Even though the weather is still warm, it is time to start thinking about the “Christmas Stocking” again. If you need assistance in acquiring outer winter clothing or boots for your children, you may be eligible for the Reformer Christmas Stocking program.  Please contact Kathryn Mason, Counselor or Tricia Hill, Administrative Assistant for an application. The deadline to return your application to Oak Grove is Friday, October 3rd.
