Cooke 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.
