Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a Culturally Relevant Food Drive
September 15 through October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. Help us celebrate by hosting a Culturally Relevant Food Drive!
Food donations mean more than nutrition and health. Food traditions mean family, memory, gatherings, holidays, ancestry, tradition, comfort, and love. Help us collect food that feels like home during Hispanic Heritage Month.

Help us Stock the Shelves for Winter!
Now, more than ever, we need your to help Stock the Shelves of our local food pantries! In recent years, our local pantries have been running out by September, a new trend caused by increased grocery, utility, and rent costs combined with the loss of critical government programs. That means it’s up to all of us to pull together and provide a food security safety net for our neighbors in need.
Please consider hosting a Stock the Shelves Food & Funds Drive this year. Collecting food for our neighbors in need is invaluable, but please consider a donation of funds to help fuel our fleet of refrigerated food rescue trucks.
