SPPF's Response to COVID-19 Through Education, Meal Distribution, and Community Support
Our community is made of heroic parents and resourceful students. Most are employed but with limited assets and income. We strive to empower families by helping them sort through the barrage of messaging to find relevant services to stay afloat in this time of uncertainty.
