Committed to Better, Together at D91 - Helping Families Access Food and Support

As many families are feeling the impact of recent changes to SNAP benefits beginning November 1, it’s important to know that help is available. Below is a list of local organizations and community resources offering food assistance and support to those in need.

Also, at Forest Park School District 91, we believe in the strength of our community. Together, we can help ensure that every neighbor has what they need. These are also some trusted organizations and initiatives you can support to make a positive local impact.
