Kids Corner
There are lots of ways our youngest supporters can learn about the Pantry and make a difference.
Check ‘em out!
Kindness Club
A group of kids did a food drive for the Pantry in their neighborhood; they walked from door-to-door (with their parents’ permission and supervision) and named their effort the Kindness Club. We liked the idea so much, they gave us permission to launch our own!
Each child who makes a difference will:
Receive a Kindness Club certificate
Be recognized with a photo on our Facebook page
Have the option to tour the Pantry
