CarePortal

If you would like to help with the following need as part of our involvement with CarePortal, here is the current need:

We have 52 students at RCGS whose families receive SNAP benefits to help with food costs. At this time with the government shutdown, those benefits are no longer available. This would allow Jessica Whitesell to send home “snack bags” with kid friendly food items like mac n cheese cups, PB&Js, fruit, soup, and cereal, to assist those students who are food insecure at this time. Grocery gift cards or cash would be appreciated. You can bring these items to Alert.
