This week, our Head Start families had the chance to participate in a hands-on vacuum sealing class focused on food preservation, meal planning, and making the most of their grocery budget. Families learned practical ways to keep fresh foods longer, reduce food waste, and prepare meals that can help stretch resources at home.

Because of this grant-funded opportunity, several of our families also went home with vacuum sealing kits to continue using these skills in their own kitchens! 🥦🍓🥩

We love being able to provide experiences that not only educate, but also empower our families with tools they can use every day. Thank you for investing in the health and well-being of our Head Start community!

Today we are celebrating FOUR amazing members of our team on their college graduations! 🎓✨

Two of our staff members have earned their Associate degrees, and two have earned their Bachelor degrees! We know how much hard work, late nights, dedication, and perseverance it takes to balance college while continuing to serve children and families each day.

We are incredibly proud of each of them and thankful to have such passionate, driven professionals on our team. Their commitment to growing both personally and professionally makes a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve every single day.

Please help us congratulate these wonderful ladies on this huge accomplishment!
