The staff of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools
recently collected $2,125 to support the Tri-City Food Pantry.
Prairie Queen Elementary School also collected more than
1,500 food items, one of many drives to support the Tri-City Food Pantry
organized by the PLCS district.
The Tri-City Food Pantry serves families in Papillion, La
Vista and Ralston.
The goal of the PLCS collection, other than to provide
direct support for the pantry's mission, is to raise awareness of how the
pantry receives referrals from social workers and counselors to help PLCS
families in need of assistance while also showing the importance of giving back
to the community.
