PANTRY PROJECT NEWS  

Bombas Underwear & Shirts

Published 4/17/2024

We are so appreciative of our partnership with BOMBAS! Since 2018, we have received more than 60,000 pair of socks for students and families!  The added 40 boxes of shirts (3,600) and individually packaged underwear we just received help us meet so many additional needs through our Pantry Project Program.  We appreciate our Board Member, Linda Ball, who works tirelessly to organize and distribute pantry donations to our family liaisons on 24 campuses. 

Basic Needs Funding

Published 2/11/2024

We thank the Renton Regional Community Foundation and the CARE Together Fund for their recent $5000 donation to our Pantry Project.  These dollars go directly to help Auburn Students with basic needs. Without the help of our committed supporters, the important work of APSF would not be possible.  Grateful Hearts all the way around!

Over 300 winter coats and an extra large skein of hand knitted hats are in the process of being delivered to students, through Auburn School District liaisons!  Thank you to our Community Partners for their commitment to our kids!

Backpacks

Backpacks remain one of our most requested items.  Thank you to Vera Hunter, Quality Custom Distribution and the GSF Foundation for helping us meet this need.  Their team of 5 volunteers helped distribute 820 donated backpacks to students at the Back-to-School Event!  That's a lot of Auburn students better prepared for school!

Haggen of Lakeland Hills consistently supports APSF and we are so pleased to learn that CORA, one of Haggen's vendors, has donated 55 cases of tampons, in boxes of 16-48 counts, for the young women attending Auburn schools.  These products will be delivered to the schools soon and will be available for students at the Health Care Office or from the building Family Liaison.  Thank you, Haggen - for everything! Thank you, CORA - for responding to our NEED.
