Devil's Den- EVHS Food and Clothing Pantry
East Valley High School is reaching out to the community for support. We are an academic establishment, but we also try to meet the social, emotional and physical needs of our students. We recently gave our students a survey asking if they would like to have access to our food and clothing pantry and 200 out of 530 responded “yes” and 195 responded “maybe”. Those numbers are comparable to our students identified as low income according to OSPI. With that large of a need, we have been revising our current process and are looking to the community to help us support our students.
Your support is key to helping open the doors to the Devil’s Den. Would you be willing to support our efforts by making a donation? There are a couple different ways to donate. One would be to give a financial donation. Another would be to provide items such as food and toiletries.
Donations
