The CMS Cares Committee was formed in 2021 in an effort to support equity within our school.

The Committee works closely with CMS staff such as the Homeless Resource Officer, School Nurse, and Psychologist to identify students in need of any services, items, or accommodations that would support a CMS student’s success at school.

Let’s work together

If you’re in need of equity based resources for your CMS student- please complete the following contact form.

Learn about Family Center Market

  • Anyone can! Even though the Market was started to support CMS Families, anyone with or without children in the Concord School District can shop during open hours.

    No qualifying information is required to access the Market. You will be asked for the number of people in your household and their ages and then be given an identifier. Every time you shop, you will be asked for your identifier. Only the number of households per month and ages of individuals is collected. 

  • The Family Center Market is located at 19 Jennings Drive, Concord, NH 03301.

    Street parking is available on Jennings Drive. Do NOT park in labeled resident parking.

    Enter through the door on the left (signage will be up).

  • The Family Center Market is open on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 9-11am.

    Additional times may be added.

  • As of now, volunteers are available to deliver food on Thursdays from 11/11:30-12pm. Times may vary.

    To request a delivery appointment, Please contact Stacey Lazzar at slazzar@sau8.org

  • Because the Market primarily sources food from the NH Food Bank, food options vary. On any given day there could be eggs, dairy, fresh fruits/vegetables, frozen meat, snack food, dried beans, canned goods, pancake mix, cereal, and bread. There may even be prepared food items.

  • You can support the Market by donating money to the CMS PTO which financially supports the Market's equipment and upkeep. You can also keep an eye out for food drives and calls for volunteers.
