Food And In-Kind Donations
Kindness feeds the world.
Every in-kind donation helps stock our shelves and gives neighbors the opportunity to choose the foods that are right for their household. Whether it’s a few cans from your pantry or the results of a community food drive, your generosity helps ensure families have access to a wide variety of nutritious food when they need it most.
On average, neighbors receive approximately 70-80 pounds of food during each shopping visit, which is enough to help support a household for about two weeks.
