SUMMARY:Easter Food Drive
DESCRIPTION:Easter Food Drive\nFebruary 22\, 2026 – April 5\, 2026\n\nWhy This Matters\nYour donations will supply food to our neighbors through our Grace Ministries food distribution and a pop-up food distribution at Hutchison Elementary School. We also support Community of Faith UMC’s food pantry and the Cornerstones Food hub. \nThis initiative is a simple but meaningful way we can step in and help meet a practical need. \n\nWhat We’re Collecting\nIn response to the rise in food insecurity\, from February 22 through April 5\, Floris UMC will host a food drive to run the next several weeks Nov 16-Dec 14. Our goal is to get 100 of each item to use for a pop up food distribution at Hutchison ES .  Below is our preferred list of items. \nShopping List \n\nBag of Rice 1lb up to 5lb Bags\nPeanut Butter\nJelly\n5lb Bag of MASA\nSpaghetti 1lb\nSpaghetti Sauce Jars\nCanned Vegetables/Beans\nCanned Fruit\nCanned Chicken/Tuna\n24oz Cooking Oil\n\nThere will be blue bins available to collect these items in the gathering space Monday – Thursday 8:30am – 4:00pm and Sunday 7:00am – 1:00pm/ \n\nHow Your Donation Makes an Impact\nYour donation helps: \n\nStock pantry shelves for foster families\nReduce grocery expenses for caregivers\nSupport teens aging out of foster care\nEnsure reliable\, nutritious meals are available\n\nWhile a single can may feel small\, collective generosity adds up quickly. When we come together as a community\, we create real and lasting impact. \n\nHow to Participate\nBring your canned goods to the designated collection area anytime between February 22 and April 5\, 2026. \nConsider setting a reminder\, inviting your family to contribute\, or organizing a small group effort to maximize your impact. \nTogether\, we can offer more than food — we can offer care\, support\, and hope to our neighbors. Join us in making a difference this Easter season.
