Pechanga Food Pantry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Make a wish, throw a coin into one of Pechanga Resort Casino\u2019s numerous water features \u2013 and help feed one of the Temecula Valley\u2019s needy families.<\/p>\n

This wish became reality for more than 50 families Thursday morning, June 21, 2018, when Pechanga Resort Casino teamed with Feeding America IE and the Elsinore Women\u2019s Club to provide a food pantry for families of Elsinore Elementary \u2013 an elementary school serving an underprivileged area of Lake Elsinore where more than 96 percent of students are enrolled in the free- and reduced-cost lunch programs.<\/p>\n

The pantry was created through an initial $10,000 donation from Pechanga, with funds exclusively coming from harvested coins from Pechanga\u2019s fountains and water features. Seeing a need for a pantry, Pechanga donated the money to Feeding America IE, who worked with Pechanga and the Elsinore Women\u2019s Club to make the pantry a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great opportunity for us to meaningfully interact with students and families in our community and provide them with heathy food options that take care of them over the weekend,\u201d said Heidi Dodd, president of the Elsinore Women\u2019s Club and a member of the Lake Elsinore School Board. \u201cA lot of these students don\u2019t have assistance over the weekend. During the summer, we only have six weeks of what we call summer literacy camp and we selected this time to be able to distribute much needed food and snacks to help get them through the weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were thrilled when we heard that Pechanga had specifically made a donation that specifically would support the efforts at this school and we jumped at the chance. We\u2019ve never done anything like this before.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bags, which can be refilled with fresh food every Thursday throughout the summer, contained perishable and non-perishable items from across the food spectrum. Special emphasis was placed on providing fresh fruit and vegetables, which came in the form of bananas and large bags of carrots. Also included in the bags was a bilingual cookbook featuring recipes using many of the items contained in the bag.<\/p>\n

The pantry will run throughout the summer for summer-school kids and their families, before opening to the entire school when the school year begins in August.<\/p>\n

The need came about because of the school\u2019s location in what is essentially a food desert. Outside of a small local market, there isn\u2019t a grocery store anywhere in the area and many of the houses in the area are small with multiple families living in each one.<\/p>\n

One of the recipients, Michelle Nugent, who was there with her second-grade daughter, Olivia, explained to her where the money came from.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey used the wishing coins you throw in the fountain to give us the goodie bags,\u201d Nugent told her wide-eyed daughter. Isn\u2019t that amazing?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Nugent said the food bags could not come at a better time in terms of feeding her six kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a whole lot. My daughter loves coming here and with this right here, this will be great to feed my kids for the week,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/p>\n
