Whether you jumped at Defy, contributed food or funds for the food drive, or enjoyed the free movie night watching Minions: Rise of Gru, we can’t thank you enough for your support and participation!

Our Food Drive collected 13 large boxes of food and $243 in cash donations for the Village Pantry at the Village Exchange Center. Village Exchange even highlighted Frontier’s generosity on their facebook page:

Movie night was a true joy to put on and experience! Frontier families (and extended families) brought picnic dinners and blankets to get comfy and enjoy the movie in community. Many thanks to Mr. Gasior, Mr. Gibbens, Ms. Belegratis, Ms. Suarez, and Ms. Corrina for their support in set up and clean up.

Setting Up

Popcorn + Movie!

Clean Up

PTO events can only happen with the support of the Frontier community. Even if you think you have nothing to contribute, we encourage you to reach out via email or come to a meeting to learn about the simple ways you can help.

The Village Pantry provides culturally relevant foods to people from more than 38 difference countries of origin. Access to traditional foods helps keep cultural roots and food traditions alive by sharing them across generations. A small sample of the communities/cultures/countries of origin served by Village Pantry include: Korean, Bhutanese Nepali, El Salvador, Oromo, and Afghan. 73% of people served live within APS boundaries.
