33rd Annual Tyler ISD Pantry Raid
Tyler High and Tyler Legacy are worked together again this year before their big football rivalry on Friday, September 1st to raise meals for hungry East Texans as part of the 33rd Annual Pantry Raid.
The East Texas Food Bank and the Tyler ISD host the annual event. Since the pantry raid began in 1991, students have raised more than 1.6 million meals for families and children served by the food bank!
In 2023 students raised 144,545 meals, including over $26,600 in monetary donations and 13,578 pounds of nonperishable food items.
Monetary donations will support ETFB’s programs that serve Tyler ISD students, such as the BackPack Program. More than 10,000 East Texas children receive BackPacks every weekend filled with nutritious, kid-friendly food to help last them until Monday morning.
