(KAIR)--An on-campus food pantry is established at the Atchison High School.

That word comes from Blake Haynes, Communications Coordinator for the Saint Joseph, Missouri-based Second Harvest Food Bank.

Haynes, in a news release, said creation of the Campus Cupboard will allows high school age students access to non-perishable items to assist themselves, along with their families.

The release notes that establishing the Campus Cupboard was made possible with the assistance of UMB Bank.

The grand opening is being held Wednesday afternoon, March 6.

Haynes said that will happen as Second Harvest delivers 50 food boxes to Atchison High School at 3:00.
