United is the way we help!

Join Us in Supporting Local Food Pantries
Our Community Food Drives bring together partners across the North Country to ensure families have access to food, especially during the summer months when the need is greatest.

Across the North Country, about 1 in 6 people experience food insecurity, and for children, it’s even higher at 1 in 5.

For many working families, the summer months bring added pressure as school meals are no longer available and grocery costs continue to rise.

That’s where our community can make a meaningful difference.

Ways to Get Involved

There are many ways to support local families through our Community Food Drives.  However you’re able to show up, it matters.

  • Partner with us as a sponsor or make a financial contribution to support the purchase of high-need items
  • Host a collection box at your place of business
  • Volunteer with your team for an hour or two at one of our events
  • Donate non-perishable food or personal care items on the day of the drive
  • Spread the word and help build community support
1 in every 5 children in the North Country is facing food insecurity. United we can change that!
