Resources for Students Facing Food Insecurity

Counseling Team,

Below are listed some county resources for our students facing food insecurity.  Some of the distribution centers will be closed for the holidays or after next week.  Information is provided in both English and Spanish.

At the bottom of the page is information on community aid specifically aimed at the Twinbrook area of Rockville, which includes case management, diapers, clothing, grocery delivery/assistance for families who are ill, etc. 

I hope this information helps!

Best,

Erin
