Pettisville Elementary sponsors a food pantry program to help our district families. We collect non-perishable food and personal hygiene items to stock our pantry (year-round). Our pantry will also distribute coats and school supplies, as needs arise. Food and hygiene items, as well as monetary donations will be collected throughout the entire year, including the summer months.
Monetary donations collected will be used to buy items to help stock the pantry.
Please make checks payable to Pettisville Schools-Blackbird Pantry.
Families in need may request a particular item at any time. We also have a “Bird Pack” program available where "backpacks" are filled with non-perishable items to create a meal. If you are a family in need, you may fill out the Bird Pack Request Form indicating your request one bag per week. “Bird Packs” are usually sent home on Fridays or the last student day of each week.
Be sure to fill out this FORM completely. All requests are kept private. Please remember to send the empty backpack to school the next day. Your child can give it to his/her teacher.
*2024-25 Pantry program will start distribution on September 13, 2024.
