Food Pantry

We maintain a food pantry here at Apex High School to assist our families in times of need. The pantry relies on donations from the community. If you are able, please take a look at the list and donate. Our needs are ongoing as we send backpacks home weekly with students as needed -- sometimes this number reaches 20 bags.  

Please keep in mind that the backpacks are average size so avoid Family-Sized, Giant-Sized, Costco-Sized packages. 

We are well stocked at the moment. 
​Thank you for your continued generosity!  
Immediate needs will be shared on the Apex High School Parents Facebook page. Ongoing needs listed below. 

Backpacks - we accept new and gently used backpacks (smaller in size -- Five Below usually has a selection) to send the food home weekly. Sometimes the students forget to return them so we are often in need of these. 

Ongoing Needs: (Shelf-stable foods that can be easily transported in a backpack by a student)
Grocery store gift cards for our volunteer coordinators to shop
Cereal ("regular" sized boxes -- not family or giant, please)
Oatmeal
Pasta (all kinds, preferably one pound size)
Pasta Sauce
Macaroni & Cheese
Canned Vegetables, Fruits, Meat
Canned Ravioli
Snacks (cheez-its, fruit snacks, etc)  Think of what your kiddos like to munch on. 
Granola Bars
