We are reaching out asking for support of our Weekend Backpack program. This program will provide students in need with a backpack filled with food for the weekend and school breaks. They may otherwise go without food. In order for this program to be a success we will need to keep the food pantry stocked. If you are able to support this program it will make a difference in students’ lives.
If you are a family who is in need of being a recipient of this program, please contact me by phone (360-954-3546), email ([email protected]), or an in-person visit at school.
When you are out grocery shopping, you might think, “add one extra thing to my cart” on a regular basis and I’m confident that the pantry will be sufficiently stocked! We cannot accept expired or open food.
The following food items are most needed but any non-perishable food items are appreciated. Suggested items:
• Oatmeal packets
• Canned soup
• Macaroni and cheese
• Tuna fish
• Granola bars
• Fruit bars
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Boxed cereal
• Canned fruit
• Canned vegetables
Donations can be dropped off at the CCMS office or sent in with your student. Donations can be sent in on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Again, we cannot accept expired or open food.
