Help our students start strong this school year!

Imagine what it’s like for kids who are experiencing food-insecurity in our district. Rather than focusing on their school work, they are thinking about their growling tummy from having a weekend of hardly anything to eat.

Thankfully, Pantry Packs is there to bridge the gap by supplying shelf-stable food to students each Friday during the school year.
​
Together, we can ensure every child in our district starts strong this school year. Won't you join us today?
