​

School Night at the Pantry provides food packages to the community identified as having the highest percentage of “chronically hungry” families. These families are identified through the number of children qualified for the free and reduced lunch program in USD 475.

Children who intake adequate nutrition perform better academically and have more positive health and wellness outcomes. Parents who are able to provide adequate nutrition can focus on pursuing more positive outcomes for their families. With community support, School Night at the Pantry hopes to help combat the issue of chronic hunger in Geary County.
