01. Hold a Collection Drive
One person can’t solve hunger, but together, we can make a real difference in the lives of so many people. In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30-40 percent of the food supply.
Check out our upcoming events to participate in a scheduled collection drive.

02. Make a Donation
Donating funds is a crucial way to support our efforts in the community. We rely on the generosity of our donors to continue providing essential services and support to those in need. By donating, you provide financial resources that are used to fund programs, services, and events that positively impact the community.
