School Pantry

school pantry

Nutritious food delivered monthly to school children and their families.

 

Finding ways to feed families is what our School Pantry program is all about.  A monthly distribution of nutritious foods is held at selected schools where high populations of children receive assistance through the school lunch program. By expanding our distribution to include enough food to provide several meals, extend family food budgets, and encourage healthy eating habits, the School Pantry program takes a long range approach to feeding every member of a growing family.

 

From its modest beginnings in 2010 with 1 location serving about 1,265 individuals with 15,000 lbs of food, we have expanded to ambitious goals in 2011: the establishment of a minimum of 6 independent sites spread out among all four counties, reaching 10,000 people with 730,000 lbs of food.
