GCCSD partners with the Food Bank of Iowa to provide food products for our students and families. Food pantry items are sent home in student backpacks on Fridays. We strive to provide items to create a meal and/or supplement a few items in the home's pantry. Items vary based on availability. All students are eligible to receive pantry items. Please fill out this form if you would like your student(s) to receive pantry items.
