Cook School Food Pantry
Through an innovative partnership with Northville Public Schools, the Kids’ Table Food Pantry at Cooke School serves area families in need with monthly to-go boxes packed with food and hope. This dynamic partnership is about more than the much-needed food – it empowers students and families alike. The pantry is staffed by Cooke’s special needs students who gain valuable work experience and life skills as they help others in the community.
The Kids’ Table fully funds the food pantry which opened in October 2023. Each month, the Kids’ Table purchases and delivers the food and household items in bulk to the pantry. Next, the students do the hands-on work of filling the pantry shelves, packing the boxes and helping load the boxes at pick-up. There is a different monthly theme such as Pasta Night, Comfort Food, Taco Tuesday and Breakfast for Dinner.
The food pantry fulfills The Kids’ Table mission of feeding children and it creates a learning experience for the Cooke students right at their school.
Families in the NPS district are eligible to participate in the The Kids’ Table Food Pantry program.
First Step
We are excited to share a new partnership with First Step Domestic Violence Shelter, headquartered in Wayne, MI. First Step’s mission is to eliminate both domestic and sexual violence and to provide comprehensive services to individuals and families impacted by these crimes. The nonprofit serves all of Wayne County, Michigan. Every month, we cover the costs of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy and meats for the residents living in the shelter.
We have also committed to purchasing essential cooking tools for every client so they are able to make healthy meals for themselves and their children. Once families leave the shelter, these tools will go with them to their new homes to give them a head start on setting up their kitchens.
Thanks to generous donors, we have made a one year commitment to First Step. We hope to continue this partnership for years to come.
We believe that every child deserves to have access to nutritious food and we're committed to doing our part to make that happen. Through direct funding of projects and active collaboration with local schools and other nonprofits and corporations, we're working towards a future where no child in southeast Michigan goes hungry.
Consider a donation to The Kids’ Table to help us in our support of these individuals and families who are in need of our commitment to help them make a better life for themselves and their families.
The Kids’ Table is a Northville-based 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to providing children and families in southeast Michigan with community-based resources to overcome the developmental, social, and emotional issues caused by food insecurity.
