Summer Food Drive for Kids

Food Drive

School's Out for the Summer! Our annual Summer Food Drive for Kids begins in May. Many families in our community depend on the school breakfast and lunch programs for a large portion of their children’s daily meals. Once summer vacation begins, they no longer have that assistance.

Please donate child appropriate food items and drop them in the bin by the OLLI office door at River's Crossing through August 1. Drop off Monday-Friday, 9AM-4:30PM.

Hospitality committee members will deliver them to the Emergency Food Bank each Friday.

Need items:

  • SpaghettiOs, Ravioli and Vienna sausage (canned with pull tab lids)
  • Mac & Cheese (microwaveable)
  • Ramen noodles
  • Nuts and dried fruit (single serving packages)
  • Cracker packs, (peanut butter or cheese)
  • Gummy fruit snacks and beef jerky

* They have an abundance of peanut butter but need individual grape jelly packets.
