Backpack Program
Dear IH Families,
With food prices on the rise, some of our families are finding it difficult to afford their regular groceries. One of the core values we hold at the Primary School is “taking care of others.” This means that when one of us is going through a difficult time, those who can pitch in and help. The Backpack Program is one way we do this. Last year, our Backpack program successfully provided food for families in need and we want to continue this effort.
If any of the following statements reflect your experience in the last year, or if you would like support supplementing your holiday meals, please consider filling out the confidential form linked below:
In the last 12 months:
● My family couldn’t afford to eat balanced meals.
● I found that the food I bought didn’t last as long as I needed it to.
● I/We skipped meals or split portion sizes out of necessity.
● I/We had to choose between purchasing food or purchasing medically necessary items.
Filling out this confidential form does not obligate you to receive groceries but it gives us the opportunity to work with you to create a supplemental meal plan for your family.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Kindly,
Jenn Earhart
IHPS Counselor
