Your donations of dry goods keep our pantries stocked for families to use during their time with us. Food drives also help us keep costs down as we prepare three free meals daily year round. Make a difference by giving items from the “shopping list” below, or hold a food drive!
You can even have fun by creating themed collection drives: “Birthday in a Bag” “Snack Attack” “Rise & Shine” and more!
