Thank you for donating to Pantry Packs, powered by the Lake Washington Schools Foundation. The food ordered from this list will be used in our weekend food packs for food-insecure LWSD students. *Please note: We do NOT accept Amazon deliveries at the warehouse as it is not staffed full time; please do not change the shipping address to the warehouse. Our volunteer leadership team members accept deliveries at their home and transport the food to the warehouse - their names are Jennifer Martyn, Robyn Ashton, Allison Dunmire, Colleen Rutherford, Shannon Schill, and Erin Schadt.*
Pantry Packs, powered by the Lake Washington Schools Foundation, provides weekend food packs for food-insecure LWSD students each week.
When kids don’t get enough to eat, they can’t concentrate and they can’t learn. Teachers tell of students excited to be at school on Mondays because they can eat there through federal programs. But these same children in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) often go hungry on weekends or during school breaks.
With community donations of time, funds and kid-friendly food, volunteers come together each month to “pack the packs.” Volunteer drivers then deliver the packs to more than 43 participating schools, and each week school coordinators distribute the packs to hungry children in preschool through high school. Throughout the school year, Pantry Packs demonstrates how volunteers, schools and the community work together to help children in our area.
The Lake Washington Schools Foundation gathers and deploys community resources to enhance academic access and to nurture all students' emotional well-being. LWSF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, tax identification number 55-0891792.
