Deadline to apply is today!
Fall is here, and temperatures are dropping. It’s time for families with children enrolled in Winona County schools and preschool programs to apply to the Winona Goodfellows program to receive vouchers for warm winter clothing!
Families that meet eligibility requirements can receive a $50 voucher for each child in a preschool program or in Grades K-8. The vouchers can be redeemed at Target, Rogan’s Shoes and DJ’s Clothing Warehouse in Winona.
Families can apply for Goodfellows assistance online or by using the traditional printed applications. Applications went home in green folders two weeks ago. If applying using the printed application, turn in to the school office. No matter how you apply, all families will receive vouchers mailed directly to their home.
