Help us feed our families!

Not only is food a human necessity, it should be a human right. To help lessen the impact of the suspension of SNAP benefits because of the government shutdown and the inevitable interruptions of the mass layoffs of federal workers, Ben Holt College Prep is creating a holiday food bank for our families to help fill their tables in November and December.

As many of you know, I'm Dr. Deborah Maroulis, and I was a teacher there for ten years, and I still teach dual enrollment classes on campus. I'm taking on the responsibility of collecting funds to give directly to the school for the purpose of enhancing our food pantry.

If you can, stop by the campus and drop off a turkey or other non-perishable foods. Consider powdered milk, ghee, canned items (with a can opener), frozen vegetables, cereals, drinks, and maybe even a little treat. If you live too far away, please consider adding to our fundraiser so we can make sure all our students and their families don't have to go hungry this winter.
