Shelley Shares: Food pantry helping feed those in need at Shelley High School

SHELLEY -- For some students at Shelley High School, knowing when their next meal will be is a question they face every day.

Local mother Karrie Winder, and interim Shelley High School Principal Burke Davis are fighting this issue with a seemingly inexhaustible food locker entitled "Shelley Shares."

"All of our educators could tell you stories that would bring tears to your eyes. It’s sad with some of these kids and what they have to deal with," Burke says. "We don't want anyone to go hungry."

The grey metal locker/food pantry sits in a discreet location at the back of the high school with bold words in front that say "Shelley Shares." Burke doesn't wish for anyone with a need to feel embarrassed by taking from the locker, it's just there to help he says.

"They don’t even have to come to us, the locker’s out there and it’s open 24 hours a day," Karrie says.

She says the locker has all sorts of food including cold cereal, snacks, soups, rice, spaghetti-- anything that can be made by adding water. There are also toiletries like deodorant, toothpaste and other bathroom necessities available.
