Dear Lowell families,

As you may be aware, the ongoing federal government shutdown could temporarily affect funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beginning Nov. 1. We understand this will impact some of our families in a very significant way.  As such, I want to provide information about available resources and offer ways our community can come together in support.

First, please know that all food service in CUSD 200, including free and reduced-price school meals will continue without interruption as those federal funds have already been allocated.  Additionally, if your financial situation has changed, you are encouraged to apply or re-apply for the free or reduced-price meal program here.

We are fortunate to live in a caring community with a number of resources. Local food pantries stand ready to help families who may be affected. You can find a list of area food pantries here. In addition, CUSD 200 and its foundation, the Student Excellence Foundation (SEF) host Mobile Food Pantries once a month to support families. The next Mobile Pantry is scheduled 4:30-6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20 at Johnson School, 2S700 Continental Dr., Warrenville. No registration is necessary – just stop by if your family needs the support. 

Many parents and community members have asked how they can help. One impactful way to help is to donate to SEF’s Essentials Needs Fund, which provides critical support to families in need. Donations are being sought specifically to make up for the loss of SNAP benefits and can be made by clicking here.

Another way to contribute is to volunteer at the Mobile Food Pantries. Volunteers can reach out to Alyssa Barry, Director of Community Engagement and Communications, at alyssa.barry@cusd200.org

As you may know, 28% of CUSD 200 students live in a low-income household, and more than 3,200 students receive a free or reduced breakfast or lunch every school day. Your generosity, whether through donations, volunteer time, or by sharing this information, can make a big difference.

If your family has questions or needs additional support, please reach out to your school social worker or principal. We are here for you.

The 3rd annual Lowell Turkey Bowl is planned for Thanksgiving Day - Thursday, November 27th - at Lowell School.

Please sign up using this form, and feel free to reach out directly to Matt Sharp with any questions (matthewallensharp@gmail.com).
