There are many ways to get involved in the food donation process.
Donate food by simply dropping it off at the Food Bank or find one of our collection barrels or boxes around town. You can host a food drive or participate in an organized community food drive. If you are interested in hosting a food drive, be sure to register your food drive in the link below.
