Because of the above stated challenges the Flagler County Public Schools has entered into a partnership with Grace Community Ministries to develop a food pantry that will service our entire community.  The food pantry is located on HWY 100 in the old county office building next to Flagler Palm Coast High School.  We are asking assistance from all our families, students, staff, clubs, sports teams, PTA’s and other interested groups to help us keep the shelves stocked with food to help our community.  If you know of a family in need please have them call the Food Pantry at 437-7225 for assistance.  We are asking everyone to help with the following food drive schedule so we can assist those in need.  You Principal / Director will give you more information how to collect the food as we get close to your support month.  We appreciate the assistance you give and I know the families we help will greatly appreciate your efforts.  If you would like to volunteer or offer additional help in addition to our food drives please call the Food Pantry.  Again, thank you for your support with this effort.
