Dear Students, Teachers, and Families of the Slate Valley Unified School District

As of January, 2020, Vermont had an estimated 1,089 people experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuum's of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In our school district we have 10-15 students who call themselves homeless. There are some students, however, who don’t declare themselves as being homeless, when in fact they aren't living with their legal guardians. Ms. Benway, Ms. Rice, and I are conducting a food drive to help students who are either coming into school hungry or leaving school hungry. Please come visit us or reach out to us! The food will then be put into snack bags, which will be donated to Fair Haven Concerned, The Fair Haven Police, and all schools in our school district! Our goal is to make 50 care packages that can be given to homeless you and families in need within our community!



Sincerely,

Camryn!
