Jaguar Pantry Update

Volunteers Needed - We want to see your smiling face!

We’re winding down the year, but we aren’t done just yet! We still need more hands to make the work just a little lighter for packing student weekend packs, family food bags and especially for transporting food from CityLight Church to FCHS and also taking empty bins from the school back to the church. 

Sound like something you would like to assist with? Check out available slots  here or email: pantry@fchsptsa.org.

As always, thank you for your continued support of our Jag Pantry - teamwork makes the dream work!

Learn More and Get Involved! We’re fun people!
