Food Insecurity During the Government Shutdown
The health and well-being of HPS students & families is our highest priority.
During this government shutdown we know that many HPS families could experience food insecurity; especially those that rely on SNAP benefits. If your family is experiencing food insecurity during this government shutdown, HPS is here to help.
Here are some resources for your family:
- Contact the Student Support Coordinator or social worker at your school
- Community Action House
- Ottawa Food
- Salvation Army
- Kids Food Basket
- Hand2Hand
- The next Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry at Holland High School (4:30pm) is set for Monday, November 17, providing supplement groceries for families.
Holland Public Schools would also like to reassure families that we will continue to provide FREE school meals to ALL students during & beyond the current federal government shutdown. Funding for school nutrition programs has already been approved, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that schools will continue serving meals as usual. This means your child will continue to receive breakfast and lunch every school day at no charge without interruption.
