Food 4 Thought is an HWES PTA-sponsored initiative to help students in need with healthy, shelf-stable food for the weekends. We also provide extra snacks to teachers to ensure all students have access to a snack each day.

How Can You Help?

Volunteers Urgently Needed

We need weekly volunteers to deliver food bags and snacks to classrooms. Check out our Sign-Up Genius to fill a volunteer slot.

Food Donations Needed

We need help stocking our pantry. We are urgently in need of the following items:

• Shelf-stable white milk (single-servings or 32 oz boxes)
• Tuna salad and cracker packs
• Fruit cups and applesauce cups or pouches
• Instant oatmeal packets
• Single serve cereal boxes
• Gift cards to grocery stores, Costco, or Amazon

You can also purchase items from our Amazon Wish List. Donations can be dropped off in the box outside the main office, or Amazon purchases can be shipped directly to the school (choose the Food 4 Thought gift registry address).

Want to make a donation, but don’t have time to shop? You can make a monetary donation via Cheddar Up. (Scroll down to “Donations – General or Event Specific” and select “Food 4 Thought Program – Online Donations.”)
