McGimpsey Pantries, part of our  Student Assistance Program, provides funds for food and toiletries to all 22 North Thurston schools. The Pantries began in 2008 and also funds a special summer grant for Lacey Girls’ and Boys’ Club. The pantry is now stocked in the orchestra room 103 in the armoire on the back wall at Lakes Elementary school, containing $500 of food funded by NTEF for students who are hungry, missed breakfast or need extra resources.
