Mission Statement: GWHS Food Pantry provides access to food, hygiene, and other necessities like winter coats or school supplies to students and staff at George Washington High School. The GWHS Food Pantry is open every Wednesday during the 2023-2024 school year (excluding holiday break times). Additionally, during Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Breaks, the GWHS Food Pantry offers break baskets. GWHS Food Pantry’s mission is to support our Patriot families with food scarcity needs. We believe it is challenging to learn when hungry, and hope to bridge the gap on weekends and evenings for our students and staff.
Weekly Volunteers: Our Food Pantry needs four to five weekly volunteers. A weekly volunteer would help in the Food Pantry one to two times each month, Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:15pm. Click HERE to sign up and volunteer!
Coordinators: Our Food Pantry needs one to three Food Pantry Coordinators. A Coordinator would work three to four hours each month (which can be remotely), writing thank you notes, tracking donation receipts, and coordinating/collaborating with our outside Food Pantry donors.
