 Join our One City, One Food Drive effort! Holding a food drive is an easy and fun way to help fight hunger in our community. By hosting a food drive, local organizations and companies help the Food Depository feed hungry men, women and children.
With your help, we can restock the shelves with food for hungry people.
Check our events calendar to see where food drives are taking place.
