Resourcing Schools

The Hub OC has been stocking Food Pantries in our local schools since January of this year. With your help, we have been able to provide food, hygiene products and other necessities for the students and families in these schools. Join us as we continue this effort!

Help us Resource Our local School Food Pantries

We have learned that hunger is only part of the challenge many students face. Children and teens are also relying on school pantries for essential items such as feminine hygiene products, body wash, and even basic clothing like underwear.

For some students, the lack of these necessities has created barriers to their education—causing them to miss school and fall behind.

Period poverty, in particular, is a critical and often overlooked issue affecting students’ ability to learn and thrive.

You can help us eliminate the needs in these areas with your generous gifts.
