A Better Childhood Mobile Food Pantry
A Better Childhood (ABC) Mobile Food Pantries, pantries held exclusively for school students and their families, help respond to those needs. The food distributions are usually held on school campuses or at other community-friendly sites. Students and their families receive a variety of shelf stable and fresh foods during the distribution and take home 30-40 pounds of food. The ABC Pantry programs poses little burden to the school but make a significant impact on the lives of its students.
The food bank works with school and community partners to hold A Better Childhood food pantry distribution. For more information about the program, contact us at 573-471-1818 or email sminfo@semofoodbank.org.
