Meal Kits

Return to Donate Food page

Are you looking for a way to involve a group in a hands-on, impactful project? The Pantry needs your help! We are looking for organizations willing to support our guests with healthy meal options and basic daily living needs.

Wondering What to Do?

  1. Get a few individuals to manage a Meal Kit Food Drive event and set a packing date.
  2. Hold a Food Drive for donations in the theme of one of our Meal Kits. Create a competition to see who can get their needed items first!
  3. Get your company to kick in the funds to purchase the items you are short on.
  4. Ask a store to donate paper or plastic bags to pack the kits into or buy reusable bags. Or, have everyone donate bags from all their extras at home!
  5. Gather all your items and create an assembly line.
  6. Pack Meal Kit bags until you run out of items to make a full set (just bring the leftovers in and we’ll stock our shelves with those).
  7. Deliver them to the Pantry and know that you helped make a difference in your community!
