BE PREPARED! Buy Your Student Food Emergency Kit
Purchase a pre-made food kit from Walnut Acres PFC for $7 via Kostella. Make sure to purchase one for EACH Walnut Acres student in your family. Each pre-made kit contains 4-5 items such as granola/kids nutrition bars, applesauce pouches, dried fruit snacks, etc. Kits will be delivered to classroom teachers by the PFC Emergency Preparedness Committee. While our goal is to provide a NUT-FREE kit, the Walnut Acres PFC cannot guarantee that all items provided in the kit will not contain nuts. If your child has nut allergies, please consider providing your own Emergency Kit in order to ensure an allergen-free kit.
Purchase a kit HERE or send in your own by THIS FRIDAY Sept 5th!
