Toltecalli High School Students Run Food Pantry to Feed Elderly Tucson Neighbors

At Toltecalli High School, students aren’t just learning about their community—they’re actively working to strengthen it. by John DeSoto

At Toltecalli High School, students aren’t just learning about their community—they’re actively working to strengthen it. As part of the Community-Based Education (CBE) course, a group of dedicated students will take charge of a food distribution event, providing fresh produce and healthy essentials to local families. More than just an act of service, this initiative gives students hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, and civic engagement. Through their efforts, they’re not only addressing food insecurity in Tucson but also building a stronger, more connected community—one meal at a time.
