Are you looking for a creative way for your company or community group to give back to the community? Host a food drive for The Children’s Place!
Each week we send home backpacks full of food to ensure that the children we serve have plenty to eat all weekend long. We fill nearly 50 backpacks each week, and this food is supplied nearly entirely by our generous community, so we go through a lot of food!

- Individually Packaged Snacks (Goldfish, Cheez-Its, Cookies, etc.)
- Fruit Cups/Individual Applesauce
- Instant Mashed Potato Packets
- Rice Packets/Rice-A-Roni

Food Drive Details:
Food drives of all size are welcomed and make a difference for the families we serve. Food can be purchased and delivered to The Children’s Place during standard business hours, or you can shop easily from our Amazon wish list and it will be shipped directly to us.
