Opportunities for Kindness

Food Pantry Assistance at DHS

The food pantry at Daphne High School is in need of being restocked. Any assistance you can provide to restock our pantry shelves would be greatly appreciated by the students who are in need. All items need to be individually wrapped. Items to consider:

Individually wrapped chips, pretzels, granola bars, individual cups of mac and cheese or ramen, gummies, single serving cereal, individually wrapped breakfast bars, beef jerky, or other snacks that you know teenagers may enjoy.

These items may be dropped off at the front office. If ordering for delivery, the address is Daphne High School, 9300 Champions Way, Daphne, Al 36526. Any monetary donations can be made also, and neighborhood bridges will purchase the food items on your behalf.
Thank you in advance for all of your generosity.
