1-in-9 Medford residents struggles with food insecurity. This is an issue all year long, but is felt especially acutely during the holiday season. Hillside Community Church does a food drive in advance of Thanksgiving each year to meet this need. The food we collect is distributed to local food pantries.
This is a sizable operation – we need your help to make it happen!
Sunday, November 16th @ 12p-2p
We need 10 to 20 volunteers to help distribute 1000 bags to homes throughout the Hillside neighborhood. Included with these bags will be a note inviting the recipient to fill it up with Thanksgiving-themed non-perishables and leave it out on their front steps the following weekend.
Sunday, November 23rd @ 12p-1p
We need ~10 volunteers and 3 vehicles to collect food bags left out on porches around the Hillside.
If you don’t have time to volunteer or shop for groceries, you can help the Thanksgiving Food Drive by making a donation toward grocery store gift cards. We distribute them in 25 dollar increments to help families directly.
