Food for Friends
Food for Friends Mission Statement:
Educating and supporting youth by assisting them with food availability, nutrition education, and access to community resources.
Food for Friends (or FFF) is a student food shelf located in the Mora High School. This is a place where students in need can come to get food and other necessities such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, paper products, detergent pods, ect. Students access FFF for a variety of reasons and we encourage all students to stop in. Anyone in need of items from FFF is welcome to visit and take what they need during the last two hours of the school day. Items are meant to be brought home for use and should not be used/consumed in school. Items in Food for Friends are purchased from monetary donations or stocked from food donations. All donations are greatly appreciated! 100% of all donations go to our school community! If you would like to make a food donation, we are always accepting these popular items at Food for Friends:
Peanut Butter
