Laundry Day

Our day program Jade Garden is bursting with delectable grapes! 🍇Swing by to grab some - all donations support Archie's Pantry, providing food and essentials for kids, as well as our enriching day programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

You can swing by Monday through Friday, 9am-2pm at 2330 Main Street, Ramona, Ca 92065, Suite D. While supplies last!!

Kids in Ramona: Come see me at the Post Office on Thursday from 5-6:30pm for free food! This week I will also have: vegetable soup, feminine hygiene products and chapstick in addition to the pre-packaged bags. We also added a QR code so you can order ahead of time in the future. If you have plastic grocery bags, please bring them to me! See you there!

Please share! Does your kiddo have a summer birthday? We put together birthday boxes, which have everything required to bake a cake, plus balloons, a banner, and a card. These are FREE of charge for kids 1-18 years old whose parents might need a little assistance making birthday magic this year. They are available at the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet and Generations Day Care. Please bring proof of birthdate to receive a box! 🥳🎂🎉

Don't forget to place your weekly food pantry orders for RHS, OPMS and MHS students. Parents: if you are ordering for your child, PLEASE TELL YOUR CHILD! We've had lots of kids surprised to be asked to pick up a food and toiletries bag because their parents did not communicate with them! The delivery schedule is listed at the top of the order form (scan the QR code to order).

Ramona: today was like Christmas, with all of the Amazon deliveries we got for the RUSD food pantries and food distributions! The top picture is an example of what will be in a weekly bag, delivered to students who request food and toiletries. We custom pack the bags, based on what students request. The rest of the pictures are food and toiletries that have been donated! Our first deliveries are scheduled for Wednesday!

Thank you for all of your generous donations, we are so grateful and excited to get this food to students! If you wish to purchase items, here is our Amazon list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/DL6MV344XRG5?ref_=wl_share

Our food and toiletries distribution at local schools starts next week! If you’re interested in donating, here is our Amazon wishlist. I already have over 50 kids signed up for week 1! Snacks and hairbrushes are our biggest needs! We’d also love bags of mini carrots, apples, and string cheese! Thank you!

We are stocking care closets at RHS, MHS and OPMS (plus our food pantry for weekly distributions.) Please consider ordering items from this Amazon wish list so we can feed our local students! Thank you!

We are beyond excited to partner with Ramona School District to provide a weekly food and toiletries distribution to OPMS, RHS and MHS students who may need assistance of these basic items. We will also assist in stocking the school "care closets" at each site.

Students can scan the QR code on the flyer below, make their selections on the "shopping list" and their food/toiletries will be delivered to their school site each week. We hope this will help students who are experiencing food insecurity and meet their basic needs, so they can thrive at school.

How can you help? I'm glad you asked! Our main goal is to provide fresh fruit to students (along with pantry-stable items + toiletries). You can drop off any of these items to us at: 424 Letton St. Yes, we will take oranges from your trees! Thank you to St. Mary's Church for also doing a food drive for this project.

This process is easy, confidential, and ensures that kids get what they need to do their best at school.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us! Shirley Temples, popcorn and ice cream sundaes?! Yes please!

Generations Day Care is selling heart shaped doggie treats for Valentine’s Day! If you’d like to purchase a package + homemade card to be delivered to a homebound senior through Meals On Wheels, the cost is $5 and we will drop the items off at the Senior Center next week.

You can also purchase doggie treats only for your own pup for $3! My Venmo is -Laws and a QR code is in the comments. Thank you!
