Back to School time will be here before you know it and we want to help our families get ready!
D300 Food Pantry will be hosting a Back-to-School event. At this event our registered families can gather backpacks and school supplies and check out a few more surprises and fun activities. Your donation will help us make sure we can help more than 400 kids have the supplies they need to get their school year off to a great start and fulfill our mission.
How can you help? Please note the deadline to donate is July 22nd.
