🌻 The Story of Juniper
Juniper began with a simple but urgent belief: no child should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

In our own community, thousands of school-aged children face food insecurity every day. For many of them, school meals are the only meals they can count on. When the school day ends—or when weekends and holidays arrive—too often, so does their access to food.

That’s where Juniper comes in. Through partnerships with local schools, we’ve built and sustained eight school-based food pantries that put nutritious food directly into the hands of students and their families. These pantries are stocked with kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare items so children can feel secure, focused, and ready to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Since opening our first pantry, Juniper has grown into a vital lifeline for hundreds of families. But the need is growing—and so must we.

Your support at An Evening Out with Juniper helps us continue to support our pantries, ensuring that more children have what they need to succeed. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship given, and every dollar raised moves us closer to a community where no child goes hungry.

We can’t wait to see you there!
