Keep PS 169's Pantry Open for Families in Need

We are a proud Title 1 school located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, with a strong history of serving our vibrant community. For the 2025-26 school year, we anticipate a student population of approximately 700 students.

In 2024, we established a school pantry to help support our families facing challenges. The pantry is available exclusively to families with children enrolled at our school, providing monthly distributions of essential items. Since its launch, the number of families we serve has nearly doubled.

Our pantry offers nonperishable food items, fresh produce, and personal hygiene products. For many families, this support helps ease the burden of meeting daily needs.

However, we are now facing significant challenges. Due to discontinued sponsorships and budget cuts, our pantry is struggling to maintain a steady supply. The local organizations that generously supported us for the past two years are no longer able to provide donations.

Rising costs and ongoing economic pressures continue to impact our school community. We need your help to keep this vital resource available to the families who rely on it.
