FOOD DRIVE - CIS FOOD PANTRY

The food pantry at CIS is used every day by children who do not have lunches. The intent of the pantry is to nourish those children who are unable to bring a lunch or have breakfast in the morning, so that they can learn.  

Please consider donating to our food pantry. We have a very limited budget for purchasing food items and rely on the rest of our CIS community to help stock the pantry.

Some families have graciously already provided donations to the Food Pantry - Thank you!!!

** I challenge every family who is able to bring to school 1 food item for the food pantry every month. Your donations are greatly appreciated by us and the children who use the pantry. You will be rewarded by knowing you did a good deed and demonstrating to your own children the IB value of Caring!

Examples of items for the Food Pantry:

Lunchables or similar packaged cold lunches

Yogurt

Cheese

Fruit cups

Jell-O cups

Pudding cups

Soup cups

Quick microwaveable meals

Granola bars

Single serve, shelf stable, low -fat milk

Single serve cereal cups

Single serve Macaroni & Cheese cups

Apples, oranges, bananas
