The Fall Food Drive is essential to our ministry helping us fight hunger in our community. We would like to encourage churches and other community groups to be a part of this new event. Here are some ways to participate:
• Collect Large, Industrial size (#10) cans of Fruit (helpful for meals served at the Mission).
• Request grocery bags for your church members to fill and return with canned food.
• Have your church youth group or other community group pick up donations from one of the drop-off locations. This would include picking up donations and replenishing grocery bags at least 2 times per week during the drive and at the end of the drive.
Information about this event can be found on the events page of our website: www.kokomorescuemission.org or by calling the Mission Office at: 765.456.3838.
