Host a Food Drive for The Open Door this Holiday Season

Autumn is here, and along with apples and pumpkin spice, it’s time for The Open Door to start preparing for the holidays. The Open Door has seen a 28% increase in the number of requests for food assistance this year at its Food Pantries alone.

Want to help? Please consider hosting a collection site at your workplace, school, place of faith, or other organization for the Thanksgiving Food Drive (November 1-18) to stock the shelves. 

With your support, we can make sure our neighbors have good food for the holidays and beyond.

Life happens. We can help.

Please also your group’s collection site here, so that we can schedule a pick-up for your donation.
