Pantry Packs is gearing up for a new school year! 💙

Last week, we kicked things off with our first Prep Party of the year at the Pantry Packs warehouse. LWSF staff and trustees joined school board members and other community volunteers to roll up their sleeves and help get food ready for the first packing and distribution of the school year.

A big thank you to everyone who pitched in — and especially to our incredible Pantry Packs leadership team for hosting and for all the work they do behind the scenes to make sure students have access to nutritious food every weekend.
