Food Donations and Volunteering
Host a Food Drive
We are always in need of supporters to conduct a food drive to help stock our Food Pantry, especially during the summer months. This activity is great for families, schools, churches, corporations, scout troops, and organizations large and small. A list of needs is available on request.
