The Penn Manor School District is offering families an opportunity to participate in the PowerPacks food program.  The PowerPacks Project is designed to help families stretch their grocery money, prepare low-cost meals for their families over the weekend, and have their children fed well and ready to learn and thrive for the rest of the week.

Participation in PowerPacks is based on income and family size, as well as the family’s ability to pick up food at designated locations each Thursday, beginning September 27th.

Enrollment is on an ongoing basis throughout the year as availability allows.

If you are interested in receiving an application for the PowerPacks Project, please contact me via email at kimberly.juba@pennmanor.net or via phone at 717-872-9535, ext. 3503 (Conestoga) or 717-284-4128, ext. 3405 (Martic).

Martic Elementary School has partnered with the Solanco Food Bank to provide weekend meals for students who may need the support. We understand that times can be difficult in this economy and the cost of food can be overwhelming, so the Food Bank is offering a weekend food bag, per elementary student in need, each weekend throughout the school year.

The food will be delivered to school each Friday (or the last day of the week if we have vacation days), and it will be given to students in large, brown paper bags before going home. The Food Bank will try to offer a variety of pre-packaged foods each week.

To be eligible for this food assistance program, your child must qualify as FREE  for the school district’s breakfast/lunch program.  For more information on this program, please contact me via email at kimberly.juba@pennmanor.net or via phone at 717-284-4128, ext. 3405.
