Conway Public Schools is proud to announce the launch of the Wampus Cat Pantry, a new district-wide initiative created to support Conway School District families in need by providing access to food and basic necessities.
The Wampus Cat Pantry serves families through school referrals, allowing district staff to discreetly and efficiently connect students and their families to essential food items. This new resource reflects the district’s ongoing commitment to caring for the whole child—academically, emotionally, and physically.
The pantry operates through donations from local community members, organizations, and businesses. Those who wish to support the pantry can do so in several ways:
Ways to Give:
Donate Food:
Purchase items from the pantry’s list and drop them off at Courtway Middle School or Ida Burns Elementary School.
Shop Online:
Purchase items directly from the Amazon Wish List for the Wampus Cat Pantry and have them shipped straight to the district.

Mail tax-deductible donations to:

Pantry Wish List Includes:
