Food Drives
Food drives are a terrific way for your school or organization to help fight food insecurity. We host a number of drives throughout the year, including:
Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive (September/October)
Thanksgiving Drive
Souper Bowl (January/February)
Lenten One-Can Meal (Lent)
Manna Sunday (May)
BBQ Drive (Summer)
Our driver will pick up your donations and distribute them to food cupboards throughout the Archdiocese. Contact Donna Romero ([email protected]) to arrange a pickup.
Kid Snack Bags
Kid Snack Bags will be shared with children at Out of School Time and PREP programs throughout the Archdiocese.
- Students are asked to decorate paper bags according to the holiday closest to the time they are doing the project (i.e. Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, etc.).
- Each bag is filled with the following food items: 100% juice box/pouch, granola bar, cheese crackers, a box of raisins and/or a fruit cup.
- Include a napkin and/or spoon if necessary.
- Children also enjoy stickers, pencils, or a small toy!
Outreach Bags
Outreach Bags will be shared with people experiencing homelessness.
- Students fill a small brown lunch bag with the following food items: 100% juice box/pouch, granola bar, cheese crackers, a box of raisins or a fruit cup.
- Include a napkin and/or spoon (if necessary).
- Students can add one of the following small sample-sized toiletries: a small pack of tissues; small toothpaste and toothbrush; shampoo; conditioner; hand lotion; lip balm; deodorant; or soap. (No mouthwash, please)
- A hand-written note is also a nice touch!
