Host a Drive

header 4 B

We envision a future where all families experiencing hardship have access to the powerful combination of affordable, high-quality early learning and individualized economic mobility services. Through the services we offer, we support vulnerable members of this generation and the next on their journey to prosperity, one family at a time.

 

Help us feed 700 families during our spring campaign.

 

Here's how it works:

  • Sign up below for how many families you will feed (1 bag = 1 family)
  • Pick up your bags & your shopping list from MCUM, or opt to have us deliver bags to you (if claimed in quantities above 25).
  • Fill the bags.
  • Return filled bags to MCUM by April 30.

This drive works well for groups, businesses, clubs, individuals, faith communities, scout troops, schools, and ... just about anyone who wants to feed a family!

Remember: one bag of food, one family at a time. 

We have a team at-the-ready to help you plan and carry out your successful food drive - any time of the year. Let's work together to end hunger in Monroe County!
