Host a Food Drive

Food drives are a great way to raise awareness about hunger and inspire others to take action. The Divine Sent Food Cupboard relies on the generosity of food drives to help keep our shelves stocked. Whether you’re collecting canned goods at a school or organizing a food drive in your  community, every donation makes a difference. If you would like to host a food drive, please contact us.

 
PLEASE DONATE FOOD. The presence of hunger is all around us, affecting the very heart of our population.
