USD 489

The USD 489 Hope Pantry was able to fill 55 boxes of food and hygiene items for district families for the winter break.

Arnett Chiropractic and Cornerstone Orthodontics both had food and supply drives this month to benefit the district’s pantry.

The generosity of outside organizations and a grant received by the Heartland Community Foundation will allow the pantry to fill boxes for families in need during spring break as well.

“Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help package the food boxes and deliver them to the schools,” the district said in a news release.
