School Food Share Program

Cherry Crest launched the
School Food Share Program
with the help of parent volunteers, students, and school staff. This program is intended to recover edible food from school cafeterias to distribute to local food banks.
To make this a successful program, please help us with the following:
- Remind and encourage students their food is for them and to only donate what they do not want or cannot eat
- What can be donated? Any whole or packaged food from school meals (apples, bananas, unopened milk, yogurts, applesauce, string cheese, muffins, etc.)
- What cannot be donated? Anything opened or with a bite out of it! Any food brought from home that was homemade or was hot at one time.
