We currently are sending out 855 packs of food each week to LWSD students that are food insecure so students always have available food and don’t go hungry over the weekend. This program is run by three very dedicated volunteers (Karyn Matveyenko, Janice Vache’, and me) and as of July 1, 2017 we are now part of the Lake Washington School’s Foundation.
I invite you to go to our webpage to find out more about Pantry Packs. The foundation also interviewed me if you would like to read more about the history/growth of Pantry Packs.
We welcome those to sign up to one of our next packing parties on either February 7th or March 7th – this is where we pack around 3,000 packs with 50 volunteers at the Kirkland Hopelink. Sign up is required owing to limited space.
I hope you will support Pantry Packs efforts in getting the word out to our community about this important program that serves so many LWSD students
Sincerely,
Marlene Vacknitz
Pantry Packs Volunteer Leadership Team
