Food Drive PER Aj Ford is spearheading the Summer Food DriveWe used our 2023-2024 Beacon Grant to support the Parkway Food Pantry which is located just down the street at Parkway Northeast Middle School. But the demand for the food pantry never ends.The Parkway Food Pantry helps approximately 2,000 families in the Parkway school district. The Parkway School District is where a lot our St. Lodge #9 members live and work.The mission of the Parkway Food Pantry is to provide access to food, nutrition, and support to the Parkway community so all students can be capable, curious, caring, and confident learners. Approximately one-third of the population represent children attending this school district. Some of their most pressing needs for the food pantry are bottles of vegetable oil, bags of flour and bags of sugar.They also are in need of bottles liquid laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes, hand soap, and antiperspirant/deodorant. So please consider purchasing these items and bringing them to the lodge where we will collect and deliver the Parkway Food Pantry. You can also donate through Parkway Food Pantry Amazon Prime Wish List and items are shipped directly to the pantry with no shipping fee.
