Extra Resources - Food Needs Extra Resources - Food Needs

Dear MJ1 Families,


Due to current circumstances, we feel compelled to remind you that we have community resources available to help with food related needs. We have included a Google form sign-up for Hope in a Backpack, Thanksgiving Meals, and Christmas Meals. If your family is interested, please sign-up for the ones you would like and we will contact you with more information. We have also linked a food resource guide from FORK, Oneida, and Vilas counties with available food security resources in our area. If you have any questions, please reach out to either Ms. Bandur or Ms. Sandstrom.
