Dear Grizzly Family,
I hope you’ve had a moment to dive into our new five-year Strategic Plan. The early reactions from families and staff have been exactly what we hoped for—energetic, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. Thank you for showing up for our district’s future with such genuine curiosity. If you haven’t had a chance to look it over yet, you can explore it anytime using this link.

We are excited and grateful to partner with Food Gatherers to help families in need. If you are interested in receiving assistance, please contact Ms. Bashara at jbashara2@ycschools.us for more information.
Please note that Food Gatherers' network of pantries is usually the best option for people looking for assistance because you have a full variety of fresh foods and staples to offer. However, for those needing a little extra, or want the convenience of drive-thru, we are hosting these distributions. We are grateful for all you are doing to increase the amount of food you receive from us, and for many of you - increase your distribution times! If you haven't filled out the Federal Government Shutdown Response Survey, it's not too late. We still want to hear from you!
As you continue to do outreach, please also direct people to our website: www.foodgatherers.org/findfood to help find a pantry near them.
Thank you,
The Community Food Programs Team
