Our top Pantry Ambassador, 𝗥𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁, led the students on a learning tour of the pantry, explaining how donations are organized and distributed and how the Montville Kiwanis Food Pantry serves individuals and families seeking food assistance.

💚 We love seeing young people become directly involved in service and learn how even one focused collection can make a meaningful difference. We look forward to welcoming Cedar Hill’s 5th graders back throughout the school year and seeing each month’s shelf filled! 🤝
