Overview

Mission

Go pantry strives to make a positive impact on local kids by providing food to those who are hungry. Specifically, go pantry helps hungry school-age children in northern Kentucky who do not have enough to eat on days they are away from school.

What it reported doing in 2025

Go pantry is a faithful community resource on which the schools rely to provide emergency food assistance to identified children struggling with the everyday daunting challenges of food insecurity. Each year, go pantry has seen a steady increase in requests from schools seeking help for students who lack food outside of school hours. In 2025, go pantry distributed 40,900 weekend go bags and 13,700 school break go boxes to help our local kids attending over 80 schools across 6 northern Kentucky counties. Go pantry strives to provide hope and stability to our local children facing food insecurity by providing consistent food support to those who would otherwise go without. Our mission is to meet the immediate needs of these children while working to break the cycle of poverty and hunger
