United4Hope partner, Christ Presbyterian Church, is so good at linking arms with their partner schools. They are a constant presence at Glencliff Elementary School as they encourage teachers and staff. They also work alongside Communities in Schools Coordinator, Agni Gomez, to support families and help to alleviate food insecurities and meet basic needs. We are all aware of the recent cuts in funding and are so thankful for our churches who are standing in the gap for our MNPS families!  

Friends, we know many of your churches are working to fill the needs of your communities. If you have a food bank, are collecting and distributing food, or have access to food items that families can benefit from, please let your United4Hope program manager know. We are collaborating with United4Pastors to get out a list of as many resources as possible for our communities.
