From an idea to a thriving food pantry...
The story of the D300 Food Pantry really began in 2015 when our Founder, Craig Raddatz approached School District 300 administration with the idea of opening a school-based food pantry within one of their schools.
The D300 Food Pantry is 100% volunteer-run and 100% donation-dependent. We rely on the generosity of our volunteers’ time and truly would not function without that component. And, of course, we rely on the generosity of our donors to ultimately keep the shelves stocked!
In summary, our tag line is brief but succinct in that it captures what we do and why we do it perfectly. Together, we are KEEPIN THE KIDS FED!
