Principal's Pantry

Did you know, there are nearly 5,000 students in Jordan School District who lack basic nutrition on weekends? Thanks to donors like you, these students are able to receive non-perishable food items from JEF's Principal's Pantries.

​

Jordan Education Foundation, raises funds each year to stock and supply Principal’s Pantries in Jordan District. The program feeds Jordan School District's homeless & refugee student population, those in need of emergency assistance and other hungry students in a variety of circumstances and situations.


Your donation to the Principal's Pantry will go a long way in support of our students and their education.

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!”
