Donate to the HOPE Pantry

Thanks to generous and continuous donations from community partners, the HOPE pantry is available to all families who are in need. For those who would like to donate, the most desired items are those that combine to make quality, healthy food such as spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, and ground beef. Foods that require minimal preparation are also a great donation (i.e. Easy Mac, Spaghetti O’s, fruit pouches, etc.)  Space is limited for perishable items so we would appreciate advance notice of donations that would have to be frozen/refrigerated. Financial donations are always welcome as those offer the District the most flexibility in meeting the needs of our families.

If you are interested in donating food to the pantry, please contact Jean Muhammad to arrange a time for drop off.

Check donations should be made out to: 

Ames Community School District
