Freeport Schools Added to FFT Program!
Food for Thought Outreach is officially adding both Freeport Middle and Freeport Elementary Schools into our services. With that said, we will now serve all 3 schools in Freeport, as we have only served the High School for many years. We are beginning enrollment now into the backpack program and will look to add volunteers and sponsors from the Freeport community to our organization.
We also want to thank our friends at Portland United Methodist Church for lending their hands to Food for Thought, and for all the work they have done over the years to also provide food for students at Freeport Middle and Freeport Elementary school!
If you or anyone you know might want to help, please reach out to us at volunteer@fftfl.org.
We are hoping to start back pack services next week!
