HELP HUNGRY IMS STUDENTS BY SUPPORTING ISSAQUAH FOOD BANK
Some IMS students depend on the food they receive at school each day and are being affected even more by the school closure. While there is currently no way to directly provide food to those students, please considering supporting the Issaquah Foodbank which is struggling to meet the current pressing need for food support in our community.
