Easter Food Drive

February 22, 2026 – March 29, 2026

Why This Matters

Every young person deserves stability, dignity, and the reassurance that their community cares about them.

Youth in foster care often face significant transitions — moving between homes, adjusting to new schools, and building new relationships — all while trying to simply be kids. These changes can create emotional and financial strain, not only for the youth themselves but also for the families and organizations that support them. During times of uncertainty, something as basic as consistent access to food can bring a sense of comfort and security.

This initiative is a simple but meaningful way we can step in and help meet a practical need.

What We’re Collecting

From February 22 through March 29, 2026, we are collecting non-perishable canned goods to support youth in foster care through our local community partners.

Suggested items include:

• Canned vegetables and fruits
• Soups and stews
• Beans and pasta sauces
• Shelf-stable proteins such as tuna or canned chicken

These items are easy to store, distribute, and prepare, making them especially helpful for foster families and young adults transitioning into independent living.

How Your Donation Makes an Impact

Your donation helps:

• Stock pantry shelves for foster families
• Reduce grocery expenses for caregivers
• Support teens aging out of foster care
• Ensure reliable, nutritious meals are available

While a single can may feel small, collective generosity adds up quickly. When we come together as a community, we create real and lasting impact.

How to Participate

Bring your canned goods to the designated collection area anytime between February 22 and March 29, 2026.

Consider setting a reminder, inviting your family to contribute, or organizing a small group effort to maximize your impact.

Together, we can offer more than food — we can provide encouragement, stability, and hope to youth who need it most. Join us in making a difference.
