Last year, after hearing the call to action, Church of God in San Jose’s Food 4Others drive brought in over 13,000 pounds of food in a single day. This year they’ve raised the goal to 20,000 pounds and hoping neighbors will step out and fill the collection bins with non-perishable food this Saturday, August 7th. Church of God volunteers will be out in front of grocery stores throughout San Jose and will transport the food at the end of the day back to the Food Bank, where it will be weighed and totaled by 7 PM.
So come on out and support their efforts to feed our neighbors in need!
The Food Bank needs nutritious, non-perishable foods:
- Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup)
- Tuna and canned meat
- Peanut butter
- Canned foods with pop-top lids
- Low-sugar cereals
- 100% fruit juices in single serving boxes
- Canned fruit packed in juice
- Canned vegetables (low salt)
Please avoid donating items packaged in glass.
We request that you do not donate bulk quantities of rice, flour, or sugar. Although we appreciate and can utilize every donation we receive, the Food Bank does not have the repackaging facilities needed to properly distribute such items. Please contact the Donor Hotline at 1-866-234-3663 for details.
