FORK Pantry – Sugar Camp Elementary

Like all other FORK Pantry locations, the FORK Pantry - Sugar Camp Elementary is a standalone food pantry that is pushing back against childhood hunger by improving local access to free food for hungry children from food insecure homes. As a  community based food pantry, focused on the specific nutritional needs of kids, the FORK Pantry - Sugar Camp Elementary is sure to bring peace of mind to the community's families with children at risk.

FORK’s Conover Food Pantry Program overcomes obstacles to helping feed kids.

1. Timeliness: When a teacher provides a child immediate support through the availability of basic food pantry style Grab-n-Go food from the FORK Pantry, located near their school, food insecure children in the Sugar Camp area will not need to suffer the distraction and discomfort of mid-day hunger stressors.
2. Proximity: Placing a FORK Pantry in Sugar Camp means that local families are provided a source of free food, closer to the children who need this kind of additional food support.
3. Availability: It is the placement of a FORK Pantry Sugar Camp Elementary, that allows families access to free food over a greater number of hours a day and days per week. It is this improved access, at more convenient times of the day, that allows food insecure families to find real food support more adjacent to their actual time of need.
