  • Host a food drive for the pantry with your neighbors, school, office, or friends.
  • Save all your paper handle bags from the grocery store and donate them to the pantry for us to reuse.
  • Make goodie bags for us to give out to our clients (homemade cookies, chocolates, toiletries, Easter baskets, etc).
  • Encourage a local business to do a fundraiser for the pantry.
  • Raise awareness about food insecurity at your school, work, or in the community
