50% off Snack Bars, you can donate them to the Schools
This weekend, Jan 10-12, New Seasons is having a 50% off sale on Cliff Bars and maybe other similar bars. These are a high priority item for the Backpacks sent home with food insecure children at Chief Joseph and Ockley Green Schools. Instead of $12 for a box of 12 bars, they will be $6 for the same box. Consider buying 1 or 2 and taking them to Ockley Green. They distribute to both Schools. Thanks!

Shout out for food for hungry neighborhood kids!
ALNA just found out that there is extra need for emergency food for children/youth attending Chief Joseph and Ockley Green right now. Food boxes and backpacks will go out on Thursday, Dec 19th. Donations need to be at Ockley Green (for both schools) by noon on Wednesday, Dec 18th.
If you can donate anything it will be appreciated and distributed to those identified as really needing food. Many of these kids just get regular meals at school. School will be out Dec 21-Jan 6th. That's a long time to be hungry.
Please bring in fresh fruit, veggies, can goods, or gift cards to Fred Meyer or other stores. The PTA volunteers will divide it up and get it to those in need. Thank you! : )
