HOPE Pantry
Our pantry is available to students and families in our District struggling with food insecurity. Food support requests are confidential, and there are no income guidelines or proof of income required.
The Ames HOPE pantry is located throughout the District at Mitchell Elementary and Edwards Elementary. All pantries are available to students and families in our District struggling with food insecurity. In addition the pantry also has small amounts of school supplies, hygiene, and household items. Food support requests are confidential, and information will only be shared with the advocate who fulfills the request. There are no income guidelines or proof of income required.
Families can access any of the pantries two times per month (excluding emergency situations). Students and families may also contact the Student and Family Advocate assigned to their buildings. Once a food request is fulfilled, pick up arrangements can be made with the Advocate who will fulfill the request.
