WildcatSERVE is sponsored by both the Finneytown Secondary and Elementary PTAs, and supported by the entire community. Working closely with the district social worker and other staff members, the goal is to assist students enrolled in the Finneytown Local School District, and their families, with basic needs such as food and household/hygiene products. Our main projects exist at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we also meet needs as they arise throughout the school year.
Current Response to COVID-19 Challenges
Thank you to everyone who has shared their resources over the past few months. The counselors and staff are working hard to make sure that families have what they need during this time.
