Burton High School Food Pantry
Donation protected
In cooperation with Burton High School's Wellness Center, I am starting a food pantry to benefit Burton students and families who find themselves in need.
Over the last 12 years I have worked with countless students whose families are struggling to make ends meet and often go without food for days at a time. To help provide an ongoing solution to this issue of food insecurity in our community, I would like to create a place for students to get food for themselves and their families.
The food pantry will exist in my classroom and be stocked as part of a coordinated effort between the Wellness Center, the SF Food Bank, Burton's faculty and staff, and the food I will purchase with the proceeds of this GoFundMe campaign.
Every cent from this campaign will be used to purchase non-perishable food to stock the pantry.
GOALS:
By November 18th: To build up enough food stock to begin opening the food pantry twice a week for students to come in and fill a shopping bag full of canned and other non-perishable goods.
By June 2020: To have built sufficient awareness of the food pantry among Burton's stakeholders to have students and families visiting regularly to take advantage of it, and to have a reliable amount of stock coming in on a weekly basis to serve those students and families.
By the end of the 2020/2021 school year: To establish an ongoing relationship with the SF Food Bank in order to get a weekly drop-off of both perishable and non-perishable goods. Ideally we would make this a weekly community event for our families in need to do their shopping.
Your donation will provide an immeasurable service to the students and families who use our food pantry. Having a convenient food provider without any strings attached will allow members of our community a safe and dignified way to nourish their families.
