HELP HUNGRY FAMILIES IN ISD
We need your help, now more than ever, to assist families in our community. The Issaquah Schools Foundation is partnering with the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to ensure students' nutritional needs are being met through this ongoing school closure. We are asking donors to purchase boxes of food directly through Supply All Kids, who will purchase food and pack boxes to distribute at the food bank. You may also contribute directly to the Foundation and we will direct additional support to current and emerging needs during this time.
