Healthy School Pantry Program
About the Program
The Healthy School Pantry Program (HSPP) was created by Food Gatherers in 2012 to increase access to healthy food and provide families with a wide variety of produce! Each school year, Food Gatherers distributes fresh fruits and vegetables, along with simple, low-cost, and nutritious recipes at selected schools throughout Washtenaw County. All families at participating schools are welcome to join. Schedule and distribution details vary by school. Reach out to your school to find out more!

“Food Gatherers distributes absolutely beautiful produce at my son’s school. I have personally witnessed people’s excitement and joy about receiving such high-quality food to make their week a little easier and their meals a little yummier. It’s a total example for me of what support around food insecurity should look like! Thank you, Food Gatherers!”
