Student Family Food Relief
The advent of the pandemic began the need for a new program, Covid19, Food Relief for Families. LSN KIDS began supporting 2-5 families with packaged food delivery for 2-4 months at a time. This food relief continues for families that demonstrate a financial need and have at least one school aged child in the home. Apply here.
