Malvern Summer Food Pantry

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.

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 come once a week to receive food items. We aim to serve 50 families this summer.

• The Pantry will operate Wednesdays, May 29 – July 24 (except July 5), 8:30 – 11:45 a.m./12:15 – 3:00 p.m.

• Stonebridge UMC volunteers consult with Malvern families on the types of food to provide.

• 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).

• Volunteers are needed beginning May 29. Sign up now!
