Food Pantry

We maintain a food pantry here at Apex High School to assist our families in times of need. The pantry relies on donations from the community. If you are able, please take a look at the list and donate. Our needs are ongoing as we send backpacks home weekly with students as needed -- sometimes this number reaches 30 bags each week.

Please keep in mind that the backpacks are average size, so avoid Family-Sized, Giant-Sized, Costco-Sized packages.

Our Biggest Needs:

See our Amazon Wishlist for our biggest needs.

Ongoing Needs: 

We have an ongoing need for shelf-stable foods that can be easily transported in a backpack by a student.

• • Grocery store gift cards (for our volunteer coordinators to shop)

  • Cereal (individual containers preferred -- NOT family or giant sized, please)

  • Oatmeal and other breakfast items (Poptarts, breakfast bars, etc)

  • Pasta (all kinds, preferably one pound size)

  • Pasta Sauce (canned or boxed if possible, NO tomato sauce please)

  • 1lb Bags of White or Brown Rice

  • Macaroni & Cheese

  • Canned Vegetables, Fruits (fruit cups too)

  • Canned Meats (Chicken, Tuna)

  • Canned Ravioli, Soup

  • Individual Snacks (chips, cheez-its, fruit snacks, etc. Consider what your kids munch on!)
