Food Raiser - The Children's Healthy Pantry Foundation

What is it?

A pantry located in the school, accessible to students of that school, stocked with healthy foods for children to eat.

Why is it needed?

Children come to school hungry. There are many reasons why. The purpose of the healthy food pantry is to ensure that the children begin their school day by having something healthy to eat.

Students learn and behave better when they are not hungry. We expect the children to do their best. Providing healthy food is necessary for a productive student and therefore a successful school.

Cost

There is no cost to the students. Donations of healthy food items are welcome. Monetary donations are also welcome and may be made to the Community Foundation of Sarasota Country for the Children's Healthy Pantry.
