The Pantry
The Pantry was the beginning of Harvest Project. Completed in the fall of 2013, it is a closet located inside Paschal High School. It was created after a realization that many students didn’t have the necessary supplies to be successful in school. Several drives were run by the community and student organizations and we were able to fill a whole closet with pens, pencils, folders, binders, and backpacks for students in need. Although it started with school supplies, we began to seek donations for snacks after seeing that many students needed nutritional sustenance to make it through the day. Snacks stations are open to students in the counselor’s office, each intervention specialist office, each AP suite, and the nurses office. Emergency meals are also available for students who miss lunch or simply did not bring one for whatever reason.
