    Description

    Host a Summer Food Drive

    Between May and August, the IOCP food shelf sees some of its lowest donation totals - almost 8,000 lbs. below average each month. Help bridge our summer grocery gap by organizing a summer food drive!

    Gather a group of family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues to volunteer on your own time. See our list of most needed items: iocp.org/donations/food-shelf-donations/

    Drop collected items off at the IOCP Donation Door Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    If you have a large donation (e.g. a truckload or multiple car loads) please contact our Community Engagement team (getinvolved@iocp.org) to ensure the best possible experience. Our staff will respond to help answer questions and confirm details before you bring in your items. Thank you for choosing to support IOCP!

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 1 - 50+
    • Event can be held at a volunteer group location (e.g. office, park)
    • Event can be held virtually
    • Donation Required
    • Items collected for IOCP Food Shelf are all considered donations
