Supporting Our Families Through Upcoming SNAP Changes – All Staff
The Westminster School District is committed to supporting our families during the anticipated changes to the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). We understand that access to food is essential, and we want every family to know that help is available.
