Switzerland County School Corporation was awarded the School Pantry Grant from the Freestore Foodbank organization for the 2021 – 2022 school year. According to the Indiana Youth Institute, Switzerland County is the number one county in the State of Indiana for food insecurity. The Freestore Foodbank’s School Pantry program exists to help alleviate child hunger through the provision of food to children and their families. There are no financial restrictions to the program; however, you must have a student enrolled in the school corporation to be eligible for the school pantry program. The only obligation required to receive food assistance is to complete and submit the School Pantry Intake Form attached to this letter. Each month we will establish a date and time for families to pick up their box or boxes of food which will be distributed at the old gym and Patriot Town Hall.

We are excited about this program and our opportunity to work with you and your child. If you have
any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at 812-427-2611.

Sincerely,
David Todd
Switzerland County School Corporation
