School is out of session and our Hays 489 Foundation for Education is still finding ways to make an impact on our students and the families of Hays in need.

The Foundation is proud to support our community by providing funding to help restock the food pantry at First Call for Help. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
