UNITY SPONSORS HUNGRY MINDS BREAKFAST
The Unity Group is proud to sponsor the Bellingham Public School
Foundation’s (BPSF) Annual Hungry Minds Breakfast.
This event raised
over $21,000 in 2012 to support
Bellingham Public School programs and services.
A message from BPSF:
BPSF partners with the
community to build awareness and support to help fund the best
possible education for all students in Bellingham Public Schools.
Our work is defined
by the priorities established by the district and described in the
Bellingham Promise.
Central to the
Promise is “Great Teaching with Strong Support” which extends to
specific areas including Early Childhood Education, Innovation and
Flexibility, a One Schoolhouse Approach, and Student, Family and
Community Engagement.
As state education dollars
decline, we believe local support makes the difference between a
basic education funded by public dollars and one with quality,
innovative, and progressive programs.
Having more informed
graduates leads to greater success and personal contributions to
the workplace and the community.

over 10,000 visitors per month to the food bank with fresh, locally
grown, organic produce throughout 2013,” says Barry Hanson,
