The Interact Club at Sachem High School North is lending a helping hand to the larger community. Students recently revamped the building’s food pantry, moving to a larger location to provide more resources to local families. They first went through the food at the old location, getting rid of any expired items. Students then transferred the remaining items to the new location in the building, a larger office not in use. They sorted through the nonperishables, assigning them to specific shelving spots. Through different food drives, the Interact Club was able to completely restock the new and improved pantry.

The Sachem Central Teachers’ Association also plays a big role in the food pantry project. SCTA teachers in each building throughout the district are assigned an item for collection. They then send their donations to High School North and have been making an amazing impact on the pantry’s growth. Teachers have been able to help sustain a continuous source for the pantry, going by the motto, “Many hands make light work.”
