CCLC announces resource center

It can be hard to make ends meet, even working two jobs.

That’s why PRLHS’s 21st Century Community Learning Center Agoge has collaborated with the local community in establishing a resource center to help with these basic needs. The Lamanna Resource Center was created to provide supplemental meals and toiletries to support our students and their families, as well as any faculty or staff members who may need assistance, CCLC’s Cherie Coldwell wrote in a Facebook post.

The resource center will provide backpacks containing two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, and two snacks on Friday afternoons. Additionally, the resource center will be open once a month in the evenings for families and employees to pick up a box containing non-perishable food items as well as toiletries. The resource center is completely free and confidential and distribution will be done in a discreet manner.

Listed below is some information on the new program:

- Students will be provided with food that they can eat at home during weekends and out-of school times. This support is also available for student’s siblings regardless of their enrollment status in school.

- Your child’s information (name, grade, and number of siblings) will be kept confidential and not shared with anyone other than pantry coordinators.

- Please be advised that these bags contain some foods that contain peanuts, nuts, soy, wheat, eggs and milk. All food is labeled and sealed by the manufacturer.

lf you want your child to receive a weekly bag of food, call Cherie Coldwell at 208-448-1211, ext. 6. If you’d like to make a donation of non-perishable food items, please email cheriecoldwell@sd83.org for a list of items needed.
