jaguar Pantry
The Jaguar Pantry works closely with the Student Services department at FCHS and supports the community by collecting, organizing and distributing food and hygiene products to around 150 students (weekly) and 70 families (once a month).
Students’ academic success and enjoyment of their high school experience depends on food security and having a strong relationship between families and the school. The FCHS Jaguar Pantry is critical to both.
The Jaguar Pantry is very appreciative of CityLight Church in Falls Church for hosting us and delivering food to our families once a month; Food for Others for providing much of that family food. And we are also very grateful for our partnership with Food For Neighbors (more information below).

Having a steady stream of incoming food is critical to our success. If you are in a position to purchase a bag of groceries every two months (five times per school year) and leave it out for pickup at your front door, please become a Food For Neighbors Red Bag Donor.
Once you sign-up, FFN will send you a reminder one week prior to the scheduled pickup (March, May, September, November and January). FFN donations are tax-deductible; FFN will provide donation confirmation.
We hope you will become a Red Bag Donor today!
