FORK Pantry - Phelps
Like all other FORK Pantry locations, the FORK Pantry - Phelps 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 school based food pantry, focused on the specific nutritional needs of kids, the FORK Pantry - Phelps is sure to bring peace of mind to the community's families with children at risk.
FORK’s Phelps Food Pantry Program overcomes obstacles to helping feed kids.
- 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 in their school, food insecure children in Phelps will not need to suffer the distraction and discomfort of mid-day hunger stressors.
- Proximity: Placing a FORK Pantry within the town of Phelps means that local families are provided a source of free food, closer to the children who need this kind of additional food support.
- Availability: It is the placement of a FORK Pantry in the Phelps school, 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.
Other FORK Food Pantry locations serve children within their hometowns:
