Tomlinson MS Girl Scout Troop Delivers Winter Snack Bags
The Tomlinson Middle School Girl Scout troop recently put together much-needed winter snack bags for our clients to grab and go. The girls decorated the bags with cheerful messages and then filled them with tuna salad kits, fruit cups, granola bars, mixed nuts, water or juice, utensil packs, napkins, tissues, chapsticks and hand sanitizers. These bags filled with protein packed snacks and some necessities are greatly appreciated by our clients. Thanks to much to the troop for their generous donations and helping hands!

Holland Hill School Marks 100 Days with Food Drive for Operation Hope
Marking 100 days of school in the elementary schools of Fairfield Public Schools is a big deal 💥 And some of these schools make it an even bigger deal…not for themselves but for our neighbors in need. Holland Hill School is one of these schools. The school’s annual 100 day tradition is to hold a school-wide food drive to help stock Operation Hope’s pantry. Assigned by grade, this year the students collected granola bars, gummy fruit snacks, canned meats, condiments, canned fruit, cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, honey and jelly. These are much needed items for our pantry clients and their families. Thanks so much to the Holland Hill School community for helping us end hunger and homelessness, one person at a time. We adore our littlest volunteers! 🫶
