Clothing Bin:
We wanted you to know that the Clothing Bin is still accessible during the school closure. Please feel free to donate any items to our Clothing Bin in our school parking lot. This is a fundraiser and supports our PTA! Last month, we earned First Place because we had the most weight in our bin out of all of the HCPSS clothing bins!!!
From the Community
Here is a list of food sources for you to access:
Grab and Go Meals:
Meals are distributed to children 18 years and younger Monday through Friday from 11:30am-1:30pm at Howard High School. This is the closest site to our school. You are allowed to send one family member to get food for everyone in the household. It is recommended you bring a bag or backpack if you choose to do this.
If you can’t get there to pick-up food, you can use the information at this site to have someone deliver to your home.
Columbia Community Cares:
This group gives out food at Howard High during the Grab and Go Meal times. They also give out food at Swansfield Elementary, Oakland Mills Middle, Wilde Lake Middle, and Lake Elkhorn Middle. You can also fill out their form for food and they can deliver as well.
