Funded Jan 28, 2019Your generosity is humbling. We have officially opened the Lobo Food Pantry as of yesterday. There is enough food to help at least 20 families.
Before we had a set location for the food pantry, the students were eying the food in my classroom. They regularly asked what it was for. When they found out we were creating a food pantry, they were beyond excited.
Yesterday the big announcement was made to administrators and teachers to begin using it to help students. In addition to helping students who are brave enough to ask for the food, we will do a robo call once a month to invite families to a distribution day. This allows families who need it, but students are too shy to ask for it, to partake of your kindness.
The next challenge to overcome is how to keep our pantry regularly stocked, but with so many generous people out there, ready to make a difference, I know we can make this pantry a staple in our school community.
Thank you.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Plourde
