AFTER SCHOOL CARE
THE MINT Foundation offers after school care for students in the DeSoto Independent School District. We offer pickup from select schools and offer an after school meal and homework assistance. We are always in need of volunteers and mentors for this program.

All volunteers for this program will have to complete a criminal background check. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE WITH A FELONY OR A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE OR ABUSE TO CHILDREN OR ADULTS.

FOOD PANTRY
‍Our weekly food pantry depends on community volunteers to assist with distribution of food resources to over 400 clients on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The hours of our food pantry are from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., but we ask volunteers to assist however many hours they can. We begin preparation at 8:00 a.m. and need assistance until 3:00 p.m. to help with clean up and restocking. There may be opportunities for stocking on Monday and Friday, so feel free to CONTACT US and let us know if you are interested in non-pantry food days.

• Make new friends
• Learn about the community

• Enhance resume

Student volunteers are always under the supervision of adult staff and will not be asked to perform duties beyond their physical or mental capabilities.
