WESTGATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL  a Title 1 school

Westgate is currently in need of food to send home with students so they can eat over the weekend.  During the pandemic food is available for families at their food pantry.

If you can help, please bring in the following items:  *Soups/chili cans; *Pasta in a can (Ravioli/Spaghetti); *Vienna Sausages; *Mashed Potato packages; *Ramen noodles; *Cans of mixed vegetables; *Easy Mac & Cheese; *Oatmeal;  *Poptarts;  *Breakfast Bars.  They also need Winter Coats (& hats & gloves) of all sizes. In helping, you carry out Jesus’ call to feed the hungry & clothe those in need.  Thanks!

If you want to help directly at Westgate they need some   
*Partners on the Playground/Gym
*help take food/coats  over to Westgate 
*others to help with special events throughout the year.  ​
​I wanted to let you know how appreciative we are of the donation you sent as part of your Drop in the Bucket initiative. We are using the money to continue to supply our Food and Clothing Pantry with items that are needed on an ongoing basis. Right now, we are sending home over 90 backpacks a week with our students. These snacks, canned goods, and easy to make meals are what bridge the food gap over the weekend. It makes a huge difference for our students and families. We also have open hours where families can 'shop' for additional items. 
In the last few years, we have partnered with Green Gables and Peiffer Elementary so families in their areas have access to food and clothing if needed. Your donation is impacting so many people, and we are grateful. 
Thank you again for all you are doing- I love the idea of how a drop in a bucket can spread hope to so many. 
Respectfully, 
Dr. Virginia Lindemann
Principal, Westgate Elementary School
