McKinney-Vento School Food Pantry

During the 2023-2024 school year, 603 students experienced homelessness in Roanoke City Public Schools.  The Basilica provides food, clothing, and other supplies for these families by partnering with Hurt Park Elementary and William Fleming High School. Our team shops and delivers food and other essentials twice a month.

The pantry is designed to meet the needs of hungry children at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations. Families can fill bags with food that children can take home and easily prepare. 

If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Aimee Valenzuela.
