The PoPP (Provisions of Personal Products) program plays a crucial role in providing personal products to students in grades 6-12 on a monthly basis. School nurses receive these products and distribute them to students upon request, ensuring confidentiality and support for those in need. This initiative is available across all schools in McLeod County. By offering personal products with no questions asked, the PoPP program aims to promote hygiene, dignity, and well-being among students within the community.

Additionally, after school snacks are supplied to students participating in the REACH program. Also, personal care products are supplied to senior and income-based housing residences throughout the county.

Children who qualify receive bags of food sent home in their backpacks on Fridays to have for the weekend and long school breaks in a discreet and confidential manner. The program is available for students throughout McLeod County in Headstart through Grade 8.

Bags of food are also located in the blue bin outside our office at 105 2nd Ave SW.

To register your child(ren) for the program, please contact your child(ren)’s school secretary. For additional information, contact Jen at jenwicklund@gmail.com or 320-587-2213.
