Boone Community School District is excited to announce we have partnered with The Food Bank of Iowa to start a school food pantry - The Toreador Food Pantry.  The pantry is located at Crossroads/Futures Alternative High School, 215 W 8th St.

Toreador Food Pantry is available to the entire school district including students and their families and all school employees.

Toreador Food Pantry hours are the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm when school is in session.

The mission of the School Pantry Program is to help alleviate child hunger through the provision of food to children and their families at school. The school is the hub of activity and a resource center for families. Because of the close relationship between students and faculty, school personnel frequently become aware of challenges within the family while dealing with student issues. A school pantry becomes a safe, supportive way to help students and their families through a crisis, which in turn helps the child become more successful in school.

Volunteers are needed to supervise and distribute food at the above times.  Please contact Kim Kitterman at 515-433-0885 or kkitterman@boone.k12.ia.us to volunteer or for any additional information.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
