SOMA SHARES

SOMA Shares: Lunch, books, groceries, toiletries, school and art supplies!

Lunch is still available to all district students and their siblings every weekday from 11am to 1pm at Seth Boyden Elementary School and Columbia High School. Your child does not need to be present and you can pick up from either location (and for neighbors/friends who can't go in person). In addition to lunch cooked locally, extra resources are now available to all district students and their families during lunch distribution.

The district is providing fresh produce, and there are delicious donations from Liv Breads, Artisan Bakery and Coffee Bar and Vista Hermosa Products tortillas. On Wednesdays you can also enjoy a bag with fresh harvest from the Seth Boyden Garden, Seth Boyden Shares and Rent Party. Weekday lunch and SOMA Shares extras will be available at both locations until the last day of school ... stay tuned for the SOMA Shares program to continue this summer at Maplecrest Park!

The district PTAs, HSAs, Cougar Cares, local families, Words Maplewood's Bookstore and Alomo Books, now in partnership with the Parenting Center of South Orange Maplewood School District and the Achieve Foundation of South Orange and Maplewood, are providing books and school/art supplies for all kids, to make remote schooling as productive and enriching as possible. There are also additional grocery items and toiletries available, thanks to SOMA Kids Feed Kids' awesome collection efforts!
