Milton Panther Packs

Milton Panther Packs Panther Packs is a ministry of St. Andrew's UMC of Milton, PA. We're striving to alleviate hunger among the elementary school students of our community.

Milton Panther Packs is an outreach ministry of St. Andrew's United Methodist Church in Milton, PA. This ministry was formed after a Lenten Bible Study urged church members to find a way to love and serve their community. The obvious need for school aged children to have food security over the weekends became the overwhelming message God laid upon numerous hearts. More than 50% of the elementary s

chool children within the Milton School District participate in the Free & Reduced School Lunch Program, meaning that many of them were also at risk for going hungry when not in school. Milton Panther Packs is stepping in to bridge that gap by stocking a pantry of non-perishable food items like oatmeal, boxed cereals, peanut butter, soup and canned fruits and vegetables. Once a month the committee meets to pack bags for every student enrolled in the program, providing them with enough food for meals and snacks over the weekend, for the entire school year. It is our goal to alleviate hunger so that these children can return to school ready to learn and not distracted by empty bellies.

It was a pleasure to speak 💕. Thank you for supporting Panther Packs!

Well... That's a WRAP on the 2025-2026 school year. I would like to say a huge thank you to EVERYONE that supported Panther Packs in ANY way this school year. Without every single one of you, this program, supporting the students in Milton Elementary Schools wouldn't be a success! Again, THANK YOU ALL!!!
