School-Based Pantries

Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes' school-based pantries are highly effective at reaching students and families struggling with hunger. These pantries make it convenient for children, teens, and families to access our services in a familiar neighborhood environment. These pantries provide food orders to students and their families. Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes also operates four hybrid pantries in local schools offering snacks and single-serve meals to kids and teens.


Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes works with Communities In Schools and school counselors to identify students and families that are in need of food.
