Panthers, Let's Eat

How does the program work?
We will deliver bags of groceries for over 200 children in the Point Pleasant Borough District for the 10 weeks of summer and during school breaks. We will deliver right to the doorstep of our families every Tuesday morning with staple pantry food items, as well as, fresh eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, fruits, and veggies. We receive assistance and donations from local residents and businesses, which helps us to provide for families in our program each week.

Emergency assistance.
Whether or not you are enrolled in our program, we offer emergency assistance to ANY family in the Point Pleasant School District who may need it. If you find your family in an emergency situation where you are struggling to buy groceries, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are more than happy to provide your family with two weeks of emergency grocery assistance. While we do NOT provide food for the adults in the residence, we can provide you with a list of local resources for assistance should you need it.
Is this program anonymous?
Yes! Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. Due to the number of students enrolled in the program we do have a large group of volunteers. However, only one volunteer, our program administrator, has access to the names of the children enrolled in the program. Volunteer Delivery drivers will receive your address but please note that drivers cannot have children currently enrolled in the school district to ensure an additional level of confidentiality.
