Host A Food Drive

It Takes a Community:

Giving Children Hope provides essential support to food-insecure families, ensuring they have nourishment throughout the weekends. Many children rely on school lunches during the week but face a gap in access on weekends. Our "We've Got Your Back" program fills backpacks with nonperishable essentials, delivered to schools weekly. Food drives are a critical component to ensuring children do not go hungry.

All food drives should focus exclusively on nonperishable items, preferably with an expiration date of at least nine months in the future, and they must be in new and well-packaged condition. You may opt to collect a variety of these items or choose a single item to collect in larger quantities:

  • Canned Vegetables

  • Soups

  • Cereal

  • Canned Fruit

  • Pasta

  • Granola Bars

  • Rice 

  • Mac and Cheese

  • Tuna 

  • Pasta Sauce
