Reminders: Support our Community - As you may be aware, many families who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will see a substantial reduction in their benefits starting next month. For families in our community that utilize these benefits to make ends meet, this change will be deeply felt. It will force parents to make incredibly difficult choices between buying groceries and purchasing other essential household and hygiene necessities. With this impending reduction in benefits, we are anticipating a much greater need for basic supplies that SNAP does not cover. The Edison PTA is hoping to support Edison families, the Cheltenham School resource bank and the Bienvenidos Food Bank during the month of November. We would be incredibly grateful for donations to assist us with this effort. The items that are most needed—and most requested by families—are: Click through to see examples of most needed items. Hygiene items: Toilet Paper, Shampoo & Conditioner, Body Wash, Hand Soap, Toothpaste Cleaning items: Dish Soap, Dishwasher Detergent, Laundry Detergent Non-perishable food Additionally, gift cards in $25 denominations to local grocery stores like King Soopers, Safeway and Wal-mart are immensely helpful. They provide our families with the flexibility to purchase fresh food or fulfill a specific, urgent need. (Please bring these to our office staff.)
Any contribution you could make would have a direct and immediate impact on our families, easing a heavy burden and showing them that they are not alone. A collection basket will be across from the main office Nov 3-20 before the PTA delivers items on Nov 21. Are you an Edison family in need due to the impending reduction in SNAP benefits? If so, please email Sally_Whitelock@dpsk12.org or Samantha_Armijo@dpsk12.org and let us know. We will set aside a food and resource basket for you and your family. The Denver Health Mobile Clinic will be on site at the NW Community Hub at Trevista Elementary. Appointments are available on Wednesday, November 5th and Wednesday, December 3rd. Please click HERE to make an appointment. Enrichment Updates: The Fall season is wrapping up on After School Enrichments. We hope your children have enjoyed their after school activities so far.
