Farmington Public School District issued the following announcement on Nov 20.
So appreciate our community partners and so proud of our Visions Unlimited students who pack the backpacks!!
We would like to thank the Farmington/Farmington Hills Optimist Club for their generous donation to the Bountiful Backpack Program! The Bountiful Backpack Program is funded by FFHFYF and ensures that participating families of Farmington Public Schools K-5 students who qualify for free lunches have a food boost at the weekends. Did you know that the program is run entirely by the students at Visions Unlimited? Visions students are involved in the entire Bountiful Backpack process, from purchasing and unloading groceries, packing backpacks to loading the buses and delivering nutritious, non-perishable foods to participating students’ schools!
