ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH. ~HELEN KELLER

Our school treasures the support our community provides our families. If you or your child may be in need of assistance, please feel free to reach out and we will share ideas and resources that may be available.

• McDowell Cares: www.mcdowellcares.com

Anyone with a need of food can go to mcdowellcares.com to fill out the form. An email will then be sent to Mandi Pittman who is coordinating this effort at Grace Community Church. If families do not have access to the internet, they can call Grace Community Church at 724-9599 for assistance.
