The Plymouth Community Schools Food Services Department has announced the establishment of an “Angel Fund” account to address the issue of unpaid meal charges.
Children in the school corporation can qualify for free and reduced meals based on federal poverty guidelines. Children who do not qualify for the free or reduced program may lack money in their student account to cover the cost of the meals.
While meals are never denied to students, the unpaid meal charges represent a difficult and complex issue directly impacting students as well as the financial viability of the school food service operation.
The Plymouth Community School Board has approved an Angel Fund account that is funded by donations. Every donation is placed into this account and used to eliminate meal debt in students’ accounts.
The Plymouth School Corporation is accepting donations for this account. Donations to the Angel Fund, can be made by check to the Plymouth Community School Corporation and note “Angel Fund” in the memo line. Checks can be dropped off at any school’s main office or mailed to the Administration Office at 611 Berkley St., Plymouth, IN 46563.
