The Roslyn High School Parent Faculty Association (PFA) hosted a very successful Bulldog Pantry Drive in February, collecting an extraordinary amount of food, personal care items, and nearly $1,200 in donations. These funds will directly assist individuals and families in need, strengthening community support.

Elementary school students played a key role in the drive, receiving paper bags from the Bulldog mascot and filling them with donations. Their enthusiasm highlighted the spirit of giving at a young age. On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, the semi-annual pantry drive was held in the front circle of the high school, where community members dropped off dozens of filled supermarket bags. 

Students in the Pathways to Independence program and RAISE program have begun sorting and stocking the pantry and will use the donated funds to purchase additional essentials. The pantry, which is managed by the RHS RAISE and Pathways to Independence classes, not only supports local families, but also assists other community pantries in need. 

Donations of non-perishable food, household essentials, and grocery store gift cards continue to be welcomed. They can be dropped in the bin outside the visitor entrance at Roslyn High School. Cash donations can be sent via Venmo to @RHS-PFA.

The partnership between PTI and RAISE students and the RHS Food Pantry emphasized the importance of responsibility and community involvement, principles that are central to the school’s mission. The drive’s success serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the lasting difference that can be made when everyone joins together to support those in need.
