💚 Feed My Lambs Food Pantry 💛
Since 1990, Feed My Lambs Food Pantry has faithfully served individuals and families in need throughout our community. Under the leadership of Director Kim Moore, with Jeremiah Richards overseeing the program, their impact continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many.
📊 The impact speaks for itself!
During the 2025–2026 pantry year alone, Feed My Lambs distributed more than 269,000 pounds of food, serving 11,314 families and more than 25,000 individuals, including nearly 8,000 children! What an incredible commitment to helping ensure families have access to nutritious food. 💚
For the past year, our Holistic Child Department has been proud to partner with Feed My Lambs to provide monthly food giveaways. These distributions help our families access pantry staples, fresh produce, nutritious snacks, and other essential items.
In addition to this partnership, Feed My Lambs opens its Central Station pantry one Saturday each month and collaborates with other organizations to reach even more individuals and families throughout our community.
This important work is made possible by the dedication of Kim and Jeremiah, board members Robert Swiger, Sarah Britton, Joni Darlington, and Cindy Richards, and the many volunteers and supporters who give their time and energy to serve others. We are so grateful for each person who helps make this mission possible! 🙌

Family Focus Friday – Student Anxiety
Our second week of October brings us another Family Focus Friday! 💛💚 This week, we’re taking a closer look at student anxiety—how it can show up, what parents and guardians can watch for, and how simply listening and creating a safe space to talk can make a meaningful difference.
A little anxiety is a normal part of life, but when worry begins to affect a student’s sleep, school, relationships, or everyday activities, it’s important to pay attention and offer support.
Take a moment to review the flyer below for helpful information and tips for supporting the young people in your life. 💚💛

🐾🍂 Welcome to October as we continue our Family Focus Friday Series! 🍁🎃
As we welcome October, it’s a good time to pause and reflect on the moments that shape our relationships with the children in our lives.
Whether we are parents, educators, or caregivers, the little moments of connection can leave a lasting impression. Sometimes, it’s the very first moment that opens the door to something much more meaningful. 🌻💫
See below for this month’s reflection from BCBA Ben Thomas on making every moment matter and the power of building positive relationships. 💛🤝✨
