Description

You're invited to join the Putnam Education Partnership Foundation for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the opening of The Owl’s Nest: Resource Center at the Early Learning Academy in Cookeville, Tenn. Nourished by Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion’s hunger-relief platform, the food pantry and care closet will help families with students attending the academy access food, clothing, and other essential items.

PEP Foundation’s food programming, including the launch of The Owl’s Nest Food Pantry, is made possible by a $10,000 Summers Without Hunger grant from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation and $3,000 in gift cards from Food Lion Feeds.

The Early Learning Academy, Putnam County School System’s newly opened pre-K center, has 24 classrooms, including income-based and special education classrooms. The resource center will help nourish children and support their learning and development. The Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce will host the ribbon-cutting ceremony
