Nurse’s Pantry
NURSE’S PANTRY PROGRAM
The Nurse’s Pantry is a school-based program that provides school nurses with funding for essential items for students which their families may not be able to afford and can result in those children missing valuable class time. The Nurse’s Pantry was piloted in 2018 in the Susquehanna Community School District and has now been introduced to all school districts in Susquehanna County with a goal of reducing chronic absenteeism among at-risk children in our community.
