Support school food pantries in Sterling, VA

In the twelve schools in Sterling that St. Matthew's serves, there are over 4,800 children who meet the definition of Economically Disadvantaged – a designation that means a student qualifies for the federally subsidized meals program, which means they are at or near poverty levels. Each of these schools has started food pantries on-site to support the needs of these families.
