For those in a position to contribute we encourage you to be thoughtful about the donations you make. Lower sodium and sugar free canned and packaged goods are healthier options for our neighbors. Personal care and household items are also in high demand. Consider donating fresh fruits and vegetables when possible.
Businesses, organizations, clubs, and groups are encouraged to sponsor food drives to help keep our local food pantries stocked. REPLENISH can provide you with the necessary tools to make the drive successful from promotional flyers to best practices guides and storable containers to transportation of donations to the warehousing facility.
Our general or seasonal themed flyers can be used or personalized to help promote a food drive with your organization.

Please refer to this step-by-step guide for some tips and best practices for running a food drive.
Some of the most needed non-perishable foods and necessities include rice, tuna fish, peanut butter, vegetables, canned meats, beans, soups, and pasta, as well as personal products, baby items, and paper towels.

You can use our “I Donated” cards to thank people for contributing to the collection, to decorate your collection area and incentivize others to contribute.
