BRYANT FOOD PANTRY NEEDS DONATIONS
The Bryant food pantry at the high school is running low on food. HLE resident, Bridgette Walter, has
volunteered to collect food and deliver it to the school food pantry.
If you’d like to contribute you can drop off food to the POA office Mon - Fri 8am to 4:30 pm. Mrs. Walter
will pick up the contributions every Friday and deliver to the school. We’ll continue collecting until the end
of November.
Below is a letter from the school that includes a list of needed items.
Students and Parents,
Hello! It has come to my attention that our food pantry at the high school is running dangerously low on supplies. We
are giving out two to three bags of food to students in need on a weekly basis, and unfortunately, our partnership with
the Arkansas Rice Depot was ended this year, so we do not have any resources for supplying food to students other than
through the community.
According to the teacher in charge of the food pantry, we will be out of food long before the Thanksgiving Food Drive.
If you know of any organizations that would be willing to donate (or if your family is willing to contribute), here are the
needs:
Canned tuna
Canned chicken
Boxed rice dinners (like Rice-a-Roni)
Boxed dinners (like Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper)
Mac and cheese
Canned vegetables
Canned spaghetti
Ramen noodles
Please pass this information along to anyone who may be interested in donating. If you are interested, let
me know, and I will give you details on where to drop off donations!
Thank you,
-Lisa Stine
Journalism Teacher and Publications Adviser
Bryant High School
"The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different, to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind, and spirit he or she possesses." -John M. Fischer
