Addressing Food Justice

KAC food pantry

We are projecting a Spring opening for our KIPP Academy Chicago food pantry. We are currently surveying families with Students in Temporary Living Situations (STLS) to gauge needs and we know the Austin neighborhood is particularly in need of nutritious, convenient food options. This pantry will be in partnership with RUSH and Indeed.

Extra gratitude for Tonya Jefferson

To extend extra gratitude to foodservice providers, Stephanie Morimoto, owner of Asutra, brought some self-care gifts for Tonya Jefferson of KIPP Bloom College Prep. We are beyond grateful for all of our foodservice providers for working extra hard to make and distribute breakfast and lunch each day to our students!
