Wheaton School District Establishes Food Insecurity Fund

Press release from the Community Unit School District 200:

Thank you to the Student Excellence Foundation for, during these unprecedented times, establishing a Food Insecurity Crisis Fund, an emergency fund providing resources for District 200 students and families facing food insecurity.

In District 200, 28% of students come from low-income households. Each day, 3,310 students receive a free or reduced lunch. While the District has done an incredible job of meeting the food needs of families during the school week during this pandemic, many parents are struggling to feed their children in the evenings and on weekends.

Your donation today will allow District 200 social workers to connect local families with supportive resources to meet nutritional needs.

Donations can be made online at https://studentexcellencefoundation.org/foodfund/ or via checks made payable to Student Excellence Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 253, Wheaton, IL 60187.

The Student Excellence Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 Illinois corporation. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

If you are a family that is experiencing food insecurity, please call 630–682–2000, leave a message, and we’ll be in touch with you very soon.
