Host a Food Drive on the North Shore of Boston area

Food Drives are a great way to help stock our shelves! Items collected help provide the food, toiletries, and household cleaning supplies that our clients need. Food drives are easy to organize and are a fun way to pull a company, congregation, school group, or any group together to help make a difference in our community.
