Hold a Food Drive for the Food Pantry

The businesses and organizations in our community are so very generous when we have our holiday basket distribution and when we issue special requests.  


We have launched our "Circle of 12" initiative to help us better coordinate with companies and groups who would like to help keep our Food Pantry shelves stocked throughout the year. They are invited to consider committing to hold one food drive in a specific month that is most convenient for them. The drives can be held internally, associated with a special event, or open to the public. The number of organizations participating in the program is not limited. Please contact our Outreach Coordinator for additional information.
