Day of Action to Stock the Pantry is a perfect time to boost supplies for our food pantry partners because it coincides with the end of the school year. Many families face an additional stress on the food budget as students are unable to participate in free or reduced school lunch programs.
Paricipants can participate indivually or as part of a team!
