What a crazy, insanely busy, fun filled day in the Twigs world. And it's only day 3.
Thanks to two classes of GCHS life skills students and their teachers Julie Phillips and Amy Neidhardt the craziness was so much more tolerable. These kids worked their tails off. Never complained. Always smiling. Fantastic attitudes.
Best part is they will return each Monday and Wednesday through the month of June.
Looking forward to our time together as we work together to feed the kids!!

BIG thank you to Dawn Carter for the new freezer bags. She tagged each one so theres no confusion during packing.
Volunteers use them to take cheese sticks and Gogurts to the lunch locations.
It's one of many details, that often go unnoticed, which make the process of feeding the kids easier.

Lunch location list for Granite City.

Reminder...please do not go to more than one location for lunches. Funding only goes so far and Twigs pays for 95% of the food items. Just be kind and respectful. We are all in this together.

Looking for a meaningful way to spend a couple hours on Mondays this summer? Maybe a group you're in or you and a friend could do it together. We could use your help feeding the kids. Timeframe is roughly 11-1.
Would require transportation, a background check and purchasing a $12 Twigs T-shirt.

THANK YOU Frohardt students and staff for once again supporting our efforts to do all we can to make sure kids get fed.
It's always extra special when kids step up to help other kids.
A special thanks goes to the PTA for coordinating this fundraiser!! You all are awesome.
