Principal's Pantry

DID YOU NOW?
There are nearly 4,000 students in Jordan School District who lack basic nutrition on weekends. These students are able to receive non- perishable food items from JEF's Principal's Pantries.
Jordan Education Foundation, a nonprofit 501c3 charity dedicated to supporting the success and well-being of students in our district, raises funds each year to stock and supply Principal’s Pantries in Jordan District. The program feeds Jordan School District's homeless student population or those in need of emergency assistance.
JEF helps to eliminate hunger in Jordan School District allowing our kids to focus on learning.
From one of our recipient schools:
“The food in our Pantry makes it possible for our faculty and staff to be able to share food and snacks with students and families that would otherwise go without.Teachers and the office staff have always tried to keep food and snacks on hand to help out children who are hungry at school. This food most often came from our own homes and our own budgets. With the Principal's Pantry, we now have plenty of food on hand to share with our students. It has truly filled a need!”
