THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! We recognize and celebrate the following 2025 GO Pantry Party for a Purpose event sponsors:

GO Pantry is non-profit community outreach providing food for hungry kids in NKY on days schools are not open.

Since 2012 GO Pantry has been feeding local kids in need. There are kids in every school who rely on the Free & Reduced Lunch Program for meals during the school year. When school is out, many children lose their primary food source.

The requests for help from GO Pantry have jumped 30%. A staggering 1,200 kids in over 80 schools across 11 districts in 6 counties are receiving weekly food support from GO Pantry.

No child should go hungry. Please consider joining us with your support. Together we can make make a difference for the kids who need us.

We need your help. Here’s why. Every school in our community has kids that are hungry resulting in a significant increase in the number of requests for food support. Decreasing resources coupled with increasing grocery prices and inflationary pressure have put more families in crisis.
