🚨Help Us Support Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts! 🚨
We know that getting resources to the hardest-hit areas is more important than ever, especially when it comes to hunger relief. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we will be selling these special edition “Together We Rise” t-shirts to help raise the funds that are urgently needed.

We will be selling these t-shirts, and in line with our mission to end childhood hunger, 100% of the proceeds will go to organizations providing hunger relief in the wake of Hurricane Helene, including MANNA Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. These organizations have the infrastructure to distribute much-needed food and other necessities in the near term and long term during this recovery period.

Together, we can bring much-needed support to families facing hunger in the aftermath of this disaster. Every shirt sold makes a real difference—so get yours today and wear it proudly, knowing you’re helping communities rebuild! 🌄💪

The Food Drive Kids install Little Food Pantries

by

little food pantries

Thanks to the work of our Founder William Winslow during his Eagle Scout project, the Food Drive Kids have installed their first 2 Little Food Pantries. These first 2 pantries will provide food and toiletries to people in need. We realized that there is still a gap when kids can’t get food, and that is during long breaks from school. We also are seeing a need for things like basic toiletries that arent given through schools or covered by SNAP benefits. Because of this gap, The Food Drive Kids are now adding Little Food Pantries to their work. People have the opportunity to come and take food from these pantries at any time. The hope is that the neighborhoods surrounding these pantries will contribute to them as well to create sustainable Little Food Pantries. Our first 2 pantries can be found at:

More pantries have since been installed, they are located at:

What We Do – Education

by

Educating the community about the prevalence of childhood hunger and the consequesnces of it on kids in their own schools and communities is crucial. We are dedicated to speaking to anyone that will listen about this issue and giving them opportunities to learn about it and to make a difference. Every event we have serves as an opportunity to educate people about this issue and how anyone can make a difference. If you would like to have The Food Drive Kids speak to your group contact us.

What We Do – Sustainable Relief

We work to promote the implementation of sustainable hunger relief like community gardens. This gives those at risk of hunger the ability to provide healthy fruits and vegetables for their families. Check out Whats Going On to fina a chance to vounteer.
