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.

If you are experiencing food insecurity and would benefit from receiving a backpack with food and/or hygiene items, please speak with any teacher or staff member at Kellogg. We’d love to get you signed up to receive a backpack to help with food on the weekends.
