Hispanic Heritage Month Spirit Week

The Grand Ledge Emergency Assistance Program (GLEAP) is currently accepting paper applications for its annual Christmas Food Basket program for families residing in the Grand Ledge School District. Donors in the community (individuals and groups) have volunteered to help provide a food basket during the Christmas season for families in need. If this would be helpful for your family, please apply by October 28. You may pick up a paper application in the school’s main office or print one from this link. You may return the completed application to the school’s main office or mail it to the address on the application. Assistance is not guaranteed and will be given based on the donations received by GLEAP. You will be notified of eligibility by Dec. 10th by email or text.
