Community Action
New York Common Pantry: Every year, Spence takes its Lower School students to the New York Common Pantry. Their activities range from restocking the shelves with food to providing supplies and meals. Students in Kindergarten through Grade 4 visit several times throughout the year. Spence’s collaboration with the Pantry provides a space for students to better understand the local support systems and infrastructures of their community in combating hunger while also teaching them how they can play a role in doing so.
