Help with Food Insecurity


“You open your hand, you satisfy the desire of every living thing.” – Psalm 145:16 


Aggie families may currently be facing challenges meeting basic needs such as food and household supplies. We have families who need help and others who want to give. Zuly and Juan Jaimes (members of the Parent Liaison Group) are coordinating the efforts.


How to Request Assistance


If your family needs help, contact Zuly Jaimes (email: zulyduarte@gmail.com, phone/text: 651-815-5720) to share your specific needs.


How to Provide Support


1.Donate non‑perishable food and supplies

  - Drop items in the bin located in UAC Commons.

  - The High School Service Club will organize the donations and parent volunteers will assist with distribution. 


2. Give monetary support

  - Send contributions directly to Zuly Jaimes (same contact info above). 

  - Funds will be used to purchase additional groceries, hygiene products, and emergency supplies.


If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Mrs. Jaimes or Mr. Karl Hendrickson. Let us work together to ensure that every Aggie family has a reliable source of food and essential supplies.
