Headstart Food Pantry Project
The Early Explorers Head Start and Early Head Start Parent Group chose to implement a learning project to teach the students the importance of giving back to their community. They chose to coordinate a food pantry project in which children were asked to bring non-perishable foods to donate to the local food pantry. The project also included a lesson from Tammy Neurohr, St. Aloisius Community Volunteer Program, on the many ways that we can give by volunteering. The kids were very interested in learning how they can help others by giving of their time, talents and gifts, even as pre-schoolers. “We feel that this was a positive and successful project, as the children took pride in bringing food items and have come to understand what our local food pantry is all about,” said Neurohr.

Getting little kids involved in things like this is going to help a community out, because then they will understand how to help people and want to do it
