Please donate today to help us meet our $10,000 goal to help fund the Little Free Pantry program for the school year. A donation of $100 provides enough food to stock a pantry for 1 month... but every dollar makes an impact.
Did you know? Many parts of Peoria are considered a food desert, with very few accessible stores that provide groceries, including fresh produce. We have 26 LFPs located at each of our schools stocked year-round to help bridge this gap.
