Heathrow's Food Pantry

Food Pantry & Weekend Backpack Program

The Heathrow Elementary School Counseling Department has teamed up with Student Council to start our Weekend Backpack Program! Each week we fill up backpacks to be sent home to families chock-ful of healthy snacks and meals from our Food Pantry.

We are only able to do this because of generous donations from you, our school community! Thank you for providing our students with healthy meals and snacks to eat over weekends and during breaks.

When donating, please consider the expiration dates on the items. We are unable to pack our bags with expired foods and often have to purge these items unfortunately.

Food Pantry Needs

We stock the following items. The asterisked items (**) are items that we are in dire need.

Referrals

If you believe your child(ren) could benefit from this program, we encourage you to sign up by filling the form out below. Only one form is needed for all the children in your family but include information for each child in the form below. This information is kept confidential in the Counseling Department.

Once your child is signed up, (s)he will receive bags of food each week containing various items that have been donated. If you have multiple children, please note that the eldest child will be responsible for the backpack for the whole family.
