PARTICIPATE IN A VIRTUAL FOOD DRIVE! During the summer, children who rely on free or reduced-price school meals are now being fed at home, further stretching household budgets. While at the same time, individuals and groups that typically collect food for us go on vacation, leading to a reduction in food donations. Donate essential food items to those in need, all from the comfort of your home, office or vacation spot. Here’s How It Works: Select Items: Browse a curated list of high-need food items. Make a Donation: Choose the quantity then make a secure online donation. Spread the Word! Share the web link: https://bit.ly/43u30vG
