Community Food Response

Many families in John Marshall and across our community experience food insecurity. Through partnerships, the community works to support JM families. In November, HyVee sponsored a Thanksgiving Meal Bag that was offered to our freshmen families. In December, Syverson Trucking & Vitality Chiropractics sponsored a Winter Meal Bag offered to our Senior Families. Additionally, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church did a large collection of items, and we were able to provide Food & Household Bags to our Sophomore & Junior Families. Overall, 116 bags filled with needed food & household items were provided to our families. Thank you to the community for supporting JM & Rochester families!

Every day, students access the Community Room for winter clothing, hygiene & household, and food to take home. It is a connection point.
