Food Resources & More
PHA THRIVE
PHA THRIVE is a grassroots volunteer effort run by Prospect Hill Academy parents, staff and friends to provide supplemental food to students who do not have regular access to food during weekends and school breaks. This school year, our amazing community partner Food For Free is providing us with Carrot Cards, debit cards that families can use to purchase food at local grocery stores.

SNAP
With students returning to school, it is more important than ever to sign up SNAP. In addition to school meals and Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a program administered by the Department of Transitional Assistance, has helped many households get through this tough year. Learn more by CLICKING HERE.
Many families who were eligible for P-EBT are likely eligible for SNAP and are encouraged to apply. SNAP outreach materials are available in 11 languages.
