If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season, here’s a wonderful opportunity to consider. The Bearcat Pantry at W.F. West High School has partnered with Lewis County Footsteps of Hope to begin assembling weekend food bags for students who could use a little extra support.

Every Friday, 20 W.F. West students receive food bags filled with ingredients for two breakfasts, two lunches, and two family-style dinners. Thanks to the dedication of our Bearcat Pantry team — Kelsie Stiltner, Shawna Goble, Megan Corey, and Tiffany Weshinkey — these bags are carefully packed to ensure students head into the weekend with enough to eat.

If you'd like to support this project, you can give directly to Footsteps of Hope at THIS LINK or make a donation to the Bearcat Pantry through the W.F. West High counseling office (info on the flyer above). Every contribution big or small makes a meaningful difference for our students and families.
