Food insecurity is a real issue and an issue in our own community. No family should have to go hungry and no child should suffer because the food budget is tight.
Bigelow offers a program called FUEL. It provides a weekend’s worth of non-perishable food for students each week with easy to prepare and healthy meals. Food is shopped for and packed each week by volunteers from a local church and delivered to the school in bags for students to bring home (or parents to pick up). The bags are generally delivered mid-week and sent home on Fridays (in nondescript bags), unless other arrangements are made to pick it up from Bigelow.
If this supplemental food program could help your family, please contact the nurse, Sue Schy, at Bigelow, schys@newton.k12.ma.us, or your child’s guidance counselor. All requests are kept confidential.
Try it. It’s FREE.
The Bigelow front office is in need of extra school supplies to have on hand for students who need them. If you have extra supplies at home, please consider dropping them off at the school office. In addition the grade level supply lists below, extra combination locks for lockers are also needed.
