Consumers/guardians should log on to assure that contact information is correct. If changes need to be made, the user can click on the "Help Desk" link and send an email to those who can update the information. The website address is: http://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/4328.htm
Spring arrives early!
Sycamore consumers have welcomed the warm weather and are eager to get more time outside. However, our garden boxes need a little work before we can plant any seeds. We are also looking to acquire a tiller that we can use when we have the need. Please contact us if you are able to provide any of the items.
