The School Pantry Coalition began with Diana’s story, a former foster child who recognized how easily the silent suffering of others could have been her own. Though she did not personally experience the lack of essential items while in care, she was deeply moved by seeing foster children and students struggling without access to what they needed for school. Determined to make a difference, Diana launched the first pantry, The Cuda Care Pantry at Coral Reef Senior High School as a way to break that cycle of hardship. What started as a single act of compassion has grown into a coalition, with Diana’s vision ensuring that no student is left unseen, unsupported, or without the essentials to thrive.
