Got to visit the Memphis Street Academy Charter School Wildcat Pantry today. Every Friday, students can fill a bag with groceries to take home (including fresh produce). Schools are a GREAT place to host a food pantry!

🥫💙 Serving with Love at SKD 💙🥫

During Catholic Schools Week, our SKD community came together for a Canned Food Drive to support those in need. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families, we collected 879 cans!

All donations will be given to the Archdiocesan Nutritional Development Services, helping provide meals and nourishment to individuals and families throughout our community.

A special thank you to our Student Council members who visited each classroom to collect and carefully count every can. We are so proud of their leadership and service.

When we say we “do all things in love,” this is exactly what it looks like in action. 💙

Sharing a letter from Heather Huot, Secretary and Executive Vice President for Catholic Charities of Philadelphia, and Lizanne Hagedorn, our Executive Director, regarding the current suspension of SNAP benefits. 💙

Right now, thousands of people in the Philadelphia area are facing empty shelves, missed meals, and difficult choices, and our food pantries are seeing a surge like never before. Families who rely on this support cannot wait. Your gift today ensures that no one is turned away hungry.
