SUPPORT US
Want to help?
Many people don't realize that families in need live right here in the Dallastown Area School District. Currently, 41.3% of our students are enrolled in the Free & Reduced Lunch Program, with 921,290 meals served annually.
But what happens when school isn't in session?
​
Cat Packs sends home about 125 bags of food each week, including some family bags that provide food for multiple children in the same household. We also know there are many more students and families we could be helping.
​
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Cat Packs is funded entirely through donations from our community and fundraisers. If you'd like to help make sure Dallastown students have food to eat over weekends and long school breaks, there are several ways you can support us:
​​
DONATE FOOD. Food donations help us keep our pantry stocked and our bags packed.​​
​
​
​
​
Donations can be dropped off during school hours at:
​​​​​​​​​
DONATE MONEY. Financial contributions help us purchase the food we need when we need it. Donations of any amount are appreciated—no amount is too small!
We prefer electronic donations through Zeffy because there are no processing fees, so Cat Packs receives 100% of your donation. However, we also accept donations via PayPal and Venmo if that is your preference.​​​​​​​​
If you'd rather donate by check, contributions can be mailed to:
Dallastown Cat Packs
700 New School Lane
Dallastown, PA 17313​​​​
​
CONNECT US WITH YOUR COMMUNITY. If your workplace, community group, place of worship, or other organization might be interested in supporting Cat Packs, we'd love to hear from you. Community connections can lead to food drives, packing events, financial support, fundraisers, and other partnerships that help us serve more students.​

Thank you for your generosity and for helping make sure local students have food to take home when they need it most!
