FIND HELP THROUGH EMERSON HOSPITAL
FIND HELP We are excited to partner with @EmersonHealth to launch the new Find Help website. If you or someone you know needs assistance, use the site to search for support like food pantries, financial aid, transportation, and more. Visit EmersonHealth.FindHelp.com. Please share and bookmark the site to make it easy to find when you need help
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
This school year, ALL STUDENTS can receive a free breakfast and lunch every day at school. However, if you think that your family might qualify, we strongly encourage parents/caregivers to complete the free and reduced lunch application. Qualifying for free and reduced lunch also qualifies students for reduced cost and/or fee waivers for various school related fees (bus fee, field trips, SAT test fees, AP test fees and college application fees). The online application is available here: https://www.nlappscloud.com (social security numbers and proof of permanent residency are NOT required).
There are two community food pantries in Maynard that are available to Maynard residents.
The Open Table Food Pantry (www.opentable.org; 33 Main St, Maynard) is open on Tuesdays, 3:30 - 6:30 PM and Thursdays, 1 - 4:30 PM and offers free bags of groceries 1x/week. Open Table also allows families to pick up frozen meals for family members weekly.
The Maynard Food Pantry (www.maynardfoodpantry.com; 82 Main St., Maynard) is open on Mondays from 10 AM - 12 noon 1-2x/month
