[Counselors] assistance for family

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

If you have an All America Bank branch near you, they will reimburse you
for money spent on clothes, school supplies, hygiene supplies, and possible
some food that you purchase for the children.  you would need to call the
bank and see who there contact person is for that program.  I spent $500
earlier in the year to buy clothes and hygiene items for two students, and
as soon as I turned the receipts into our bank branch here in Cache, they
cut me a check for the full amount.
