MACOMB TOWNSHIP — With the cost of food going up and inflation on people’s minds, students at one Chippewa Valley school will soon be able to get food they need regardless of the economic situation at home.

A food pantry is being established at Fox Elementary School. The idea to set up the pantry came from Denise Mansfield, owner of the Mansfield Insurance Group and a parent of former Fox Elementary students.

“She reached out to us and wanted to know if we had any need for students with this grant that they were able to apply for,” Fox Principal Frank Bellomo said. “(Mansfield) wanted to know if there was a need for a food pantry that we would keep here at school for students that had a need for snacks and different food items that they might not have the availability to bring from home.
