Preston County Schools is proud to once again collaborate with Let Your Light Shine for Preston County, Wal-Mart, and the many other businesses and churches in the county who work to supply complete Easter Dinners for 500 of our own families who find themselves in need. Our schools take up donations and hold drives in an effort to assist, as well as many of our schools will serve as distribution sites on April 11th and 12th. More information will follow as we get closer to those dates. Any families in need can contact their school's counselor or student support team. For more information on either applying for the meal, or if you're wanting to volunteer or donate, you can contact either the school's student support team, or search Let Your Shine For Preston County and get directly in contact with them. We greatly appreciate these efforts around another holiday season, and are proud to continue to work to make the lives of Prestonians better. Thank you for the continued invitation to collaborate on such a good initiative.
