Supporting NYC School Pantries

Supporting School Food Pantries for Students from Food-Insecure Homes

FoodNiche Institute is committed to ensuring that students from food-insecure homes have reliable access to nutritious food through school-based pantries—when families need it most.

We are working in partnership with schools to provide nutritious food boxes that help sustain students outside of school hours, including weekends, school closures, and transitional periods when access to meals is limited.

Each food box is thoughtfully designed to provide:

• Nutritious, shelf-stable meals that support growth, focus, and learning

• Relief for families experiencing financial strain

• Dignity and reassurance for students who should never worry about their next meal

Purpose:
To ensure that students remain nourished and supported, even when school-based meals are unavailable.

Your Support Has Immediate Impact

Every contribution goes directly toward providing food for students through trusted school pantry systems—meeting needs in real time.

• $25 helps provide food for one student

• $50 supports siblings or multi-student households

• $100 helps stock a family food box

• Any amount helps strengthen school food access

Your support helps schools respond quickly and compassionately to food insecurity—so students can focus on learning, not hunger.

Why This Matters

Food insecurity affects academic performance, emotional well-being, and long-term health. By supporting school food pantries, you are helping create a stable foundation for students to thrive—inside and outside the classroom.

Give Nourishment. Give Stability. Give Support.

Your generosity helps ensure that no child in our community is left without access to nutritious food when they need it most.

Thank you for standing with our schools, our families, and our students.
