This month marks our 12th year as the Shane Gives Thanks Food Pantry in Carver, Ma.

It was 12 years ago that a little boy with a great big heart, from a little town in this great big world.. saw the need to help others and his mission began with the motto “no one would go without.”

A belief that he could change the world, one can of green beans at a time.

Shane’s mission continues, as our pantry continues to feed families in need..but this month weighs heavy on our hearts that our hero isn’t here with us as we begin to pack this years holiday giving boxes, with a joyous smile when the first can of green beans go into the first box.

As we are privately owned, we run strictly on donation - which means we can only give what we have.. and we are asking, once again, for a little help from Shane’s army of supporters to help us complete this years growing list of families in need.

Donations are being accepted for:
Jar or canned gravy
Instant potatoes
Canned yams
Boxes or bags of stuffing
Mixed vegetables
Fried onions
Can of mushroom soup
Green beans, carrots and corn
A desert item ( brownie, cake or cookie mix)
Bisquick
Butter

These items go directly into the giving baskets for families in need this holiday season

Thank you for your continued support 🧡

Donations can be dropped off during pantry hours, or left in our donation bin just outside our door ( which is on video surveillance)

An Amazon wish list has been created for convenience as well

Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and joyous holiday season. 🧡

Light up the night for childhood cancer awareness with South Shore Action for Hope is a night we remember every year. This special night always falls on the last weekend of September.
We decorate our window and light a candle (battery operated) in honor of those we lost, the fighters and the survivors of childhood cancer awareness. 🧡💛🎗️

A note from Peyton,

12 years of Peyton Packs, would not be possible without your kindness and generosity. My brother talked about the superheroes hiding in our community 🧡 he used to say “you just have to ask for help, and they come.”

Peyton Packs has been blessed with wonderful items, to start our school year off great! Bringing happiness to my heart. 💜 I am Thankful.

We continue to need items to make our program a success, which can be purchased through our Amazon link or dropped off at the pantry with a note for Peyton Packs.

If you have donated already, thank you!
If you haven’t, there’s still time!
If you can’t right now, please say a blessing for a safe, happy and healthy school year!

Thank you for being the superheroes to our community!!

-Peyton 💜

From the desk of Peyton (with the help of Mom) from Peyton Packs,

Thank you for making Peyton packs fantastic for the past 12 years. We have received confirmation for our program to continue in the Carver school system grades K-12 for the 2026-2027 year. I know my brother would be very proud.

For those who don't know who I am, I'm Peyton, my big brother was Shane, and he named our weekend meal program after me.
At the end of every school week, students signed up on our free program discretely receive a pack of food for the weekend, where school lunches are not provided.
Students receive, breakfast, lunch, snacks, vegetables, fruit and juice or milk. This is a Peyton Pack.

The Peyton Pack program is funded by donations from our wonderful heroes in the community. Helping feed the minds of even the littlest future heroes. Every year the number of students on the program increase, the needs increase and everyone can benefit from a full belly. Full bellies equal strong minds.

We have created an Amazon wish list for items needed for our program to benefit the students. This includes items like Peanut free snacks, Gluten free lunch items, Small cereals, shelf stable milk boxes and fruit cups.

Items not accepted for Peyton Packs
Ramen Noodles
Soda/energy drinks
Hot/Spicy items
No frozen items
No perishable items
No premade sandwiches from your home.

Items ordered on the wish list will be delivered right to the pantry and labeled for Peyton packs. If you would rather donate items at the pantry, please tell the volunteer they are for Peyton Packs.

With your help, I know we can make this year a GREAT year with Peyton Packs!

Thank you,
Peyton & Mom

When Shane’s sister was in Kindergarten, Shane started the program called “Peyton Packs” .. a program named after his special needs sister, that would help kids in Carver schools (k-12) with a meal for the weekend. Every weekend. Something she could be involved in, something they loved doing together, giggling packing snacks and lunches like it was Christmas morning.

12 years later, Peyton, now going to begin her Senior year of high school, kicked off the beginning of the Peyton Pack program.. and boy was Papas truck was full!

Peyton’s friends now help pack snacks, with smiles, laughter and love. Their team work and organization make this program Shine… while Still making Mom’s heart happy 🧡 still making bellies full in Carver.

Here’s to 12 years of Peyton Packs in the Carver School system!
