Committed to Combating Hunger in Maricopa County
Lerner and Rowe Gives Back has once again teamed up with ALT AZ 93.3 and the Valley of the Sun United Way in 2023 to help combat hunger in Maricopa County. Our team was pleased to donate $5,500 to help offset associated costs for purchasing shelf-stable pantry items.
As before, the goal of the October 2023 United Way Pantry Pack Program is to provide 1,500 meals to help ensure that local students and their families have enough food staples to get them through the month. United Way supplied the packs and our team joined ALT AZ 93-3 and Whataburger to assemble packs before they got delivered to a local school.
Participating schools include Roosevelt, Cartwright, and Murphy Elementary School Districts, as well as Academia Del Pueblo and Frank Elementary School located in South and Southwest Phoenix, Maryvale, and Guadalupe. Furthermore, these schools have free and reduced lunch eligibility rates of 81% to 99%. Each school also determines distribution of pantry pants to families that have the highest need.
What’s Inside Each United Way Pantry Pack?
Pantry Packs are filled with nutritional items that may include:
- Oatmeal
- Fruit cups
- Granola bars
- Macaroni and cheese
- Canned chicken
- Peanut butter crackers
