School Pantry Program

NOTE: This program is closed for the Summer.

Student dignity is a top priority when filling our school pantries. Whether it's a small snack drawer or a whole closet, we work with the space a school has available and do our very best to only fill the pantry with brand names the student will recognize and feel comfortable eating in front of their peers. This includes store brands such as Private Select, Kroger, Kirkland, Great Value, Member's Mark, etc.

We provide ready-to-eat, warm-and-eat, and take-home items. School staff have access to this food and can immediately help a student in need. The student can grab something to eat immediately or discretely fill their backpack with take-home items for later.
