- November 7 & 8 -
MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
- 1 in 4 local families -
are food-insecure
Due to the rising need in our community, we will host an Each One, Feed Two food drive the weekend of November 7th and 8th. We hope to raise more food during this drive than we did during our Each One, Feed One drive in the spring, so, mark your calendars and spread the word!
Let's work together to support the members in our community who need it the most.
- We give 7,000 pounds of food -
every month
We will set up drop-off locations across Monroe County where you can donate non-perishable food or cleaning/hygiene items, contact-free.
Drop off hosts will either return the donations to MCUM or request a staff member come and pick them up.
- join us -
feed a family!
We are looking for volunteers to host drop-off sites. All you have to do is supply the space, whether it is a tarp on your driveway, a bin at your place of work, or something else.
To host a drop-off site, email Madison at msilvers@mcum.org or click here.

Tips
When shopping for a food drive, we recommend purchasing items that you or your family would enjoy. Our pantry shoppers enjoy those same things! You can also consider buying things that would be needed together, for example - purchase spaghetti and spaghetti sauce.
