Across the United States , nearly 1 in every five adolescents lives in poverty . In response to this need in our local community , North Hills High School ’ s Hands for Service Club has created The Pantry .
The Pantry allows high school and middle school students to shop “ The Pantry ” for toiletries , food items , school supplies , laundry care items and other necessities that may pose a financial challenge for their families to provide for them .

Little Dresses for Africa at NHHS
High school students in Jessica Hoffman ’ s Fashion and Sewing class partnered with Little Dresses for Africa to craft attire for girls across the African continent .
Students utilized pillowcases and other fabric to construct simple dresses that will make a huge difference in the life of each little girl who receives one . Mrs . Hoffman is always accepting donations of pillow cases , bias tape and fabric for this effort . Donations can be dropped off in the high school main office .
