2023 Teen Connect Food Pantry Restock

Help me give my students the nutrition that they need in order to focus on learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Medley's classroom raised $387

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is considered title 1. This means that our students do not always have the resources that they need (food, shelter, etc.). The Teen Connect food pantry provides food and hygiene items to students in need.

Any child can come to the Teen Connect room and ask for breakfast, lunch or a snack if they need it.

No one is turned away. Filling their tummies is the first step in preparing our students to learn and be successful academically. Pop tarts, chips and beef jerky are some of our student's favorites.
