Growing Leaders


Growing Leaders would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU
to all our supporters.

We could not run this amazing program without our Willard students, the Willard families and staff, and the local community.

We are pausing for summer
but will be back next school year with more meal sales.
Check back here in August for updates.
