The Lake Hamilton School District will host its annual food drive from November 3–7, 2025, benefiting the Lake Hamilton Parent Center Food Pantry and the Food for Kids Backpack Program.
Each week, more than 275 Lake Hamilton students receive food assistance through the Backpack Program. These backpacks are sent home on Fridays to provide supplemental food for the weekend, helping ensure students return to school on Monday ready to learn.
To support this important cause, each grade level has been assigned a high-need food item. Families are encouraged to send donations with their students during the designated week. Please be sure to check expiration dates before sending items.
Thank you for helping us feed our Wolves and make a difference in our community!
