• Belton Free Community Pantry
• Catholic Charities Pantry
• Expensify: Hunger Support
• Giving the Basics
• Heart & Hand Food Pantry
• Pirate Pantry
  Belton High School and Belton Middle School each have a Pirate Pantry stocked with food and personal care items for students who are in need. Mill Creek Upper Elementary has a Pirate Pantry, as well as a closet of clothing items for students.  Families with elementary-aged students can apply with their school counselors to receive a "backsnack" filled with food before each weekend.  Many of these initiatives are supported by donations to the Belton Educational Foundation.  School counselors at all levels are a wonderful asset to our district and can provide families with items they may need, or refer them to external sources for more assistance.

We recognize that creating a safe learning environment is critical to your child’s ability to achieve academic success. Our school district has anticipated the growing need for qualified mental health resources and we believe that You Okay provides our students with advice in a simple and easy-to-access way. You Okay is a new online site that students can use to easily find things to say and do when a friend or classmate is struggling with a mental health issue. 

How does the You Okay website work?

Students can access the site from any device with an Internet connection. No login information is required and thus no personal information will be recorded. 

Does the You Okay website replace our other mental health resources? 

No. We have identified a growing need for mental health resources in our district. The You Okay site is another resource that we have added to our district’s team of mental health professionals.

Can parents access the You Okay website?

Yes. Please use the website as a resource when you have questions about adolescent and teen mental health issues. We also encourage you to contact a school counselor in our district if you have specific questions about your child and mental health.
