School’s Out Supplement (SOS)
Help provide extra lunch food for children while school is out.
When school is out for the summer, many children lose access to the free or reduced-cost meals they rely on during the school year. For families already working hard to make ends meet, the summer months can create a significant nutrition gap.
The Pantry’s School’s Out Supplement (SOS) program helps fill that gap by providing extra lunch food items for families with school-age children throughout the 10 weeks of summer.
Since launching in 2019, SOS has served over 18,000 children — helping local families keep kids nourished while school is out.
You can support SOS by making a donation, shopping our Amazon Wishlist, or donating the most-needed food items listed below.
