As our community navigates the impacts of the ongoing government shutdown, we know that many families are feeling added pressure, especially when it comes to putting meals on the table. At YES Prep, we believe that no child should have to learn, play, or grow on an empty stomach.

That’s why we’ve gathered a list of local food resources available to anyone who may need extra support. These resources are here to help ensure every family has access to healthy, reliable meals. We encourage families to review the options below and share them with neighbors or loved ones who might benefit. Be sure to bookmark this page for updates. Together, we can make sure that our community stays strong, connected, and cared for, no matter the circumstances.

 

Apoyando a Nuestras Familias: Recursos Alimentarios Disponibles en Nuestra Comunidad 

Mientras nuestra comunidad afronta las consecuencias del cierre del gobierno, sabemos que muchas familias sienten una presión adicional, especialmente para alimentar a sus hijos. En las escuelas públicas YES Prep, creemos que ningún niño debería aprender, jugar o crecer con el estómago vacío. 

Por eso, hemos recopilado una lista de recursos alimentarios locales disponibles para quienes necesiten apoyo adicional. Estos recursos están aquí para garantizar que todas las familias tengan acceso a comidas saludables y confiables. Animamos a las familias a revisar las opciones a continuación y compartirlas con sus vecinos o seres queridos que puedan beneficiarse. Guarden esta página en sus favoritos para recibir actualizaciones. Juntos, podemos asegurar que nuestra comunidad se mantenga fuerte, unida y cuidada, sin importar las circunstancias.
