Community Food Support

Dear Wheeler Families,

We understand that times of uncertainty can be stressful, especially when it comes to meeting basic needs. If your family is currently experiencing difficulty accessing food due to recent changes in benefits or other circumstances, please know that support is available.

Community Food Resources

We've compiled a list of local food pantries and meal services ready to help ensure every family has the food they need. Link To the Document Of Food Resources

A Quick Tip for Budgeting

While it may seem necessary to use funds typically set aside for rent or mortgage payments to buy food, we strongly encourage you to avoid doing so whenever possible. Food pantries and community meal services are readily available to help with immediate food needs. Resources for rent and mortgage assistance are much more limited, and utilizing food resources now can help prevent future housing difficulties and allow you to keep your budget balanced.

Our school social workers are here to connect you with additional support and guidance. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help in any way:
