HIGH SCHOOL PANTRY
Hunger doesn't end with any particular grade level and neither do FOCP programs as we serve grades K-12. We have grown our services to include 6 high schools in addition to our middle and elementary schools.
Our high school program is tailored to the unique needs of high school students and gives these developing adults the freedom to start making their own health and nutrition decisions while providing a stable form of sustenance to fuel their growing minds.

"Teachers and staff know if a student is in need of food they can refer them to the school social worker to make sure they have access and food on a consistent basis if needed. I am so very thankful to have this resource available for our students.”

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In 2020 the High School Food Pantry was piloted and officially launched in 5 area high schools at the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year. As the meal program continues to expand into local high schools FOCP remains committed to providing reliable food relief for as many students as possible.
The High School Food Pantry is a school year meal program that offers a range of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options to 9-12 youth. Food is available via cinch sacks or physical pantries located at schools. Check in with your school social worker for access to your High School Food Pantry.
Students in grades 9-12 are eligible for the High School Food Pantry. Food pantries are available at: Central High, Mankato East High, Mankato West High, Futures Program, St. Clair and Kato Public Charter.
