Our guest speaker was Trisha Paradis of Springfield Family Center. The club received a $1000.00 grant from the district to give the center for their shelving and storage areas.
She talked about her organization’s 50-year history of providing help for individuals and families to alleviate food insecurity. In the upcoming year, Springfield Family Center will explore additional ways to address food insecurity for school-age children.
