Not having enough food in the house to feed the kids is stressful. But it’s also stressful to drive or use public transportation long distances to get to a food pantry and stand in line for an hour, said Jenny Czerkas, operations director at the faith-based organization Selfless Ambition.
Selfless Ambition hopes to ease that stress and bring food to families by placing food pantries in schools. Eventually they hope to open 25 pantries, and are opening the first at Glendale Elementary, 1201 Tompkins Drive, this fall.
