Single Item Food Drives

Kindness feeds the world.

Hosting a single item food drive is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support West Suburban Community Pantry. By focusing on just one item—like peanut butter, cereal, pasta, or canned tuna—your group can make a big impact while keeping collecting, sorting, and donating incredibly easy. Whether you’re organizing a drive with coworkers, classmates, teammates, or friends, these toolkits provide everything you need to get started. Download the zip file for your chosen item and help us keep our shelves stocked for neighbors in need!

If you want to host a single item food drive for an item NOT listed, reach out to our team and we can get one to you!

 

Run a Food Drive
on our Behalf

Together we thrive, together we drive

Take part in empowering your community. We provide marketing materials as needed so that you can collect hotly-needed items and get the word out about hunger and food insecurity in our neighborhood. Together, we can change lives.
