Gleaners Food Bank at Mt. Vernon High School!
While the MVCSC Food Pantry is closed due to COVID-19, boxes of dry non-perishable food, meats, and more will be available via drive-ups once per month or you can schedule pick-up times. Please see the scheduled dates below for the 2020-2021 School year.
Mt. Vernon High School was originally one of five schools selected as a pilot program for Gleaners Food Bank to provide food services in the MVCSC community. The Food Pantry is a place where students/families in need can discreetly "shop" for free and pick up non-perishable food, personal hygiene, and household items. If you need groceries prior to scheduled dates, please speak with your school counselor. No Voucher necessary
Mt. Vernon High School, Door #12
4:00 - 5:30 p.m.
Please help us keep the Food Pantry open All Year Long! If you would like to donate any food or other items to our food pantry, please drop off all items in the Mt. Vernon High School Main Office. Donations will be accepted only during school hours at the High School Main Office.
