Pack the Pantry
Help us support children and families from Denali Elementary by donating shelf-stable food items to Pack the Pantry. This ministry helps ensure kids in our community have enough to eat on weekends and during school breaks when school meals aren’t available. You can find a list of needed items at our “Pack the Pantry” booth located inside the Kids Check-In foyer of the Children’s Center building. Donations can be dropped off at the same location.
Suggested Food Items
- Shelf-stable Hormel entrees
- Individual packets of tuna/chicken salad
- Fruit cups in juice
- Cheese or peanut butter crackers
- Beef jerky
- Applesauce cups
- Granola or cereal bars
- Dried fruit
- Oatmeal or cereal cups
- Pudding cups
- 100% juice boxes
- Individual shelf-stable milk
Items should be non-perishable, something that small kids can easily open (pull-tab lids) and heat in a microwave or prepare on their own, and can be consumed in one serving.
Please also consider lightweight, easy to cook meals for kids (Cup O Noodles, Easy Mac Cups, granola bars), so that kids can make it when their parents aren't around.
