Supporting the communities we serve is at the heart of what we do. Recently, SSC Unit Director James Dickey conducted a site visit at Marana Unified School District, where he toured the campus alongside school social worker Krysti Hesse. During their walkthrough, they connected with the dedicated team at the Marana Family Resource Center, gaining insight into the vital support they provide to students and families.
The Center offers essential services, including a food & clothing bank for families in the district and community. The food bank is stocked solely through community donations and grants.
Krysti and James quickly noticed some bare shelves in the food bank. Recognizing the immediate need, James took action - thinking first of the most important meal of the day - breakfast. SSC partnered with the district to run a cereal drive, rallying the team to make a difference. The results were incredible—308 boxes of cereal collected—providing 3,696 breakfasts for students and families in need.
Way to go, SSC Marana team! Your dedication is making a real impact! #SSCServicesforEducation #CommunityImpact
