It may be a surprise to neighbors and alumni that many TJHS students come to school hungry. This may result in a visit the office of TJ’s resident Community In School Director asking for food to take home (especially weekends). This has moved TJVF to work with the Director to establish a more constant supply of food for the students as the need is increasing.
See below on ways you can help.
