My Project

Help grow our Food Pantry! We are working on being the premier source for our families in our local community for any needs they may have. This is a wonderful project that we are continuing to grow and we typically need the most help securing donations for toiletries and period products! Help restock our highest need items and help contribute to a space that is easily accessed by TCM families as we expand to becoming a cite to assist low-income and homeless individuals in our community!

This has been a wonderful space that has grown 3 years in the making.

This pantry is a space ran primarily by students and is a space where student can learn about child hunger while serving, leading, and fundraising for their community. We are working on creating an effectively accessed space for our parents where we will be available for drop in ours and offer pickup options for their greatest needs, which includes increasing our inventory of toiletry items! Continue to lead our campus to an A rating and contribute to developing our students into leaders while providing the greatest needs for our community!
