Food Pantry
Improving Access to Food
The Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital Food Pantry is available to help our pediatric patients and families. The pantry is stocked with non-perishable food items to supplement breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
To receive a bag of food, families can ask a member of the medical team during their appointment. Bags are currently available at the pediatric subspecialty offices and in the Melodies Center.
Connecting Communities with Rite Aid
The Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital is thankful to have received a $50,000 Connecting Communities grant from Rite Aid Healthy Futures, to help improve access to food.
With the vision of creating healthier, more equitable neighborhoods, Rite Aid Healthy Futures has provided more than $4.5 million in grant funding to leading children’s hospitals across the country, giving them additional resources to address hunger and food insecurity through innovative, community-rooted initiatives. A total of 42 hospitals serving Rite Aid’s 17-state footprint received grants.
