Hunger and homelessness are extremely prevalent social issues in the United States of America. Today, over 35 million Americans* still go without food on a regular basis. Due to the falling economy, many families are having to choose to pay rent or buy food, or between medical care and food. We are seeing more people than usual in need of a meal or emergency food supplies to carry them through the end of the month.
*Statistic from the National Coalition for the Homeless

You can be involved in meeting the basic needs of hungry people all over America by organizing a food drive using the materials provided below.

Everything is included: simple instructions, signs, fliers and even a list of items to collect. Just select from the materials listed below and get started on your food drive today.
