Lincoln Early Learning Center
Race to Restock Is On!
Each school is joining a friendly competition to collect food and monetary donations for our district food pantry.
How You Can Help
Help your school zoom ahead by donating nonperishable food items or monetary contributions. Every item and every dollar counts and helps our Eagles take the lead while supporting families in need.
The Hawthorn District Office is also accepting donations from community members who want to join the race.
Short on time? No problem! Make a quick online donation using the link below. It’s a fast and easy way to keep our momentum strong.
Let’s show what makes Hawthorn special — a caring community that always comes through for one another. Together, we’ll race toward the finish line and restock our pantry shelves for families across our district.
Questions? Contact Family Liaison Sol Cabachuela at cabachuelas@hawthorn73.org.
