Food Drives:
We provide lists of suggested items and milk crates if needed for collected food to be stacked and stored.
Some donor groups create themed food drives such as holiday foods or a particular type of food like “cereal” “baking”, or “condiments”.
Let us know by email what month you are hoping to have the drive and the number of people you expect to participate and we will make a plan that works for you. If the drive is larger than what an SUV or truck can carry, a pick up at your site can be arranged.
If your school, club, or business is interested in organizing a donation drive, we would love to work with you.
We can also set up a group volunteer experience on one of our prep or distribution days.

Christmas Stocking Stuffer Drives:
Each December, we offer small stocking-stuffer type gifts for the adults that attend our food distribution to select and give to their loved ones. In November and early December, volunteer groups sign up to supply 20+ stocking-stuffer bags or items for others to stuff. It’s fun to shop for these small things and friends often gather to assemble the items into the bags. Here’s the link for the 2025 Stocking Stuffer Signup.
