Harrisburg Food Pantry Needs Your Help On Monday through Friday during the school year, students who qualify (based on income) are able to utilize the free/reduced lunch program. Under the Backpack Program, a 1-2 day supply of food is then provided to each qualifying child on Friday, sufficient to tide them over through the weekend. It was brought to our attention the Harrisburg School District is one that does not extend this Backpack Program through the summer. There is a need. The Harrisburg Area Food Pantry wants to fill this gap and needs your help to do so. Beginning the week of July 24th, we began supplying food to as many of these children as we can. We are unable to get a list of kids currently in the program so have developed a workaround. Fliers have been distributed at a few local businesses to make families aware this is happening. We are on site at the Cliff Ave and Hunter’s Gate Apartments for one hour per week with a small supply of groceries for each child. During that same time, we make filled ‘backpacks’ available for pick up at the pantry for children who live in other areas of Harrisburg. This will continue for 5 weeks, until school starts.
on any of these days, please text, email or phone Sheila with the dates/times that work for you and where you would feel comfortable assisting. We would sincerely appreciate your help whether you can fill one time slot or you’re available to help every week. Along with this project comes a cost. We need to purchase the additional food items needed, some of which are available at a reduced price through Feeding South Dakota; some are not. If you are able, donations of any size would be appreciated. Or, specific food items needed include: canned vegetables (corn, peas, carrots), individual juice boxes, fruit (apples, oranges), individual boxes of cereal, Ramen Noodles and snack crackers (no peanut butter or nuts). If you’d like to arrange a time to drop these items at the pantry or have any of these items picked up from your location, contact information is shown below. We sincerely appreciate whatever you can do. Thank you. Sheila Coleman harrisburgareafoodpantry@yahoo.com
