Food Pantry Donations

We’ve heard from many families who want to help our community during this time of great need. This week's food pantry at our school was a huge success and we’re inspired by your generosity, thank you!

If you couldn't donate food but still want to help, a monetary donation makes a big difference. The Pantry can buy in bulk, get refrigerated items, and stretch every dollar even further.

If you would like to contribute, please visit the Food Pantry Donation Page.
