During these unprecedented times, it is so important for us to come together to help those in need.
With schools being out for an indefinite amount of time, it is imperative that we continue to provide food for the children as well as the adults in need.
Below is the most recent information we have in terms of how, when and where the public may pick up food for the kids from the local schools.
We have also included information for adults and families. With so much uncertainty for everyone, it feels good to be able to come together this way. If you have any more information for food pickup, please let us know at info@topsailmag.com.
