ABOUT THIS FOOD DRIVE
Hunger is something I care deeply about, and I believe everyone deserves access to food and nourishment.
As summer winds down out east, many people are packing up and heading home for the season. That got me thinking about all the food that might get left behind in kitchens and pantries, or even tossed away, and how we could instead share that food with neighbors who need it.
Whether you’re a seasonal resident, live locally, are here for a visit, or simply want to help, I hope you’ll join us.
