​Pantry Packs

Talk to your school’s counselor for any referrals to the Pantry Packs Program. 

Pantry Packs needs non-perishable, kid-friendly meal and snack items. You can donate directly via our Amazon Wish List. Additionally you could organize a food drive from our kid-friendly food items list.  We have a planning checklist with more information, and our Food Drive coordinator is available to help you organize your food drive. For more information, email [email protected].  

Please do not mail any food directly to the warehouse. Donate directly via our Amazon Wish List or email [email protected] to coordinate a time to drop off food donations.

Join other volunteers in assembling Pantry Packs, or at a prepping event to unpack the food. Bring a friend. Bring your middle and high schoolers for community service hours. Bring a PTA/PTSA. Bring a scout troop. Bring a school honors club. Student volunteers over 8 must be accompanied by a participating adult, and all volunteers must sign up online to participate.​ Due to warehouse safety issues children under eight are not allowed during packing sessions.  Submit the Volunteer Notification Form to be notified of future volunteer opportunities as they arise. 

Email [email protected] with any questions.

We welcome the donation of funds to purchase the food we need at the best possible price. 

• $7 per month buys a single pack of food for a LWSD student. 
• $28 per month sponsors a single student’s monthly supply of packs. 

You may donate online or mail a check written to “LWSF-Pantry Packs” to: 

Lake Washington Schools Foundation 
PO Box 83 
Redmond, WA 98073 

Remember your donations may be matched by your employer. Please consider making a recurring donation … because hunger is recurring! 

Simply order the food items you wish to donate and your order will be shipped directly to Lake Washington Schools Foundation and designated for Pantry Pack’s use! Some items even have an optional “subscribe and save” option to set a recurring donation. Remember to include your name and email address in the “note” so that we can properly record your donation and issue you a receipt.

Every time you shop at Fred Meyer and use your Fred Meyer rewards card (that has been linked to the “Lake Washington Schools Foundation”), a donation will be made to the Foundation and the Pantry Packs program. There are no charges to you, or changes to your other Fred Meyer reward benefits.

If you already have a rewards card you can link your Rewards Card here.

If not, please consider signing up for a Rewards card and linking it to the LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOLS FOUNDATION.
