Supporting our students

Food insecurity affects so many in our community, but together, we can help alleviate hunger

We are hosting a backpack food program, and managing the food and clothing pantry, to provide essential items for Kellogg families in need.

Every week during the school year, students can take home a backpack of food to help them get through the weekend.

We are looking for donations of foods that are easy to prepare, and for hygiene and personal care items.
