Malvern Summer Food Pantry – Fact Sheet
Stonebridge UMC has partnered with Malvern Elementary for over a decade. Malvern Elementary is a Title I school in McKinney ISD, our home school district. Our neighbors are the students, parents, teachers, and staff of Malvern. Data from 2018-19 showed that Malvern’s 522 students have the following approximate ethnic makeup: Hispanic 56%, White 15%, Black/African American 22%, and 7% of other ethnicity. Seventy-nine percent of students are economically disadvantaged. Roughly 14% of Malvern students receive special education services, and 1% are identified as gifted and talented.
During the Month of May, we’re collecting the following food items to kick start our Summer Food Pantry.

The Malvern Summer Food Pantry fills the summer nutrition gap in the absence of free and reduced lunch during the school year. For more information or for questions about the Malvern Summer Food Pantry, please contact Sharon Laird.
Families are given a number of POINTS based on the size of their family.
Each item we provided is assigned a POINT count.
Volunteers help the families shop and then pack food and help deliver to their cars.
The Pantry will operate Wednesdays, June 4 – July 23, 8:30 – 11:45 a.m./12:15 – 3:00 p.m.
All monetary donations go to buy food for the families. Donations can be made by mailing a check to the church (write Malvern in the memo line) or donating online (scroll down to ‘Malvern’ to type in your donation amount).
