Smarter Food Pantries
Healthy Food Drive Initiative
Did you know that over 140,000 people are food insecure in the Capital Region? That’s one out of every ten people! Help those in need in your community have access to healthier food by running your own Nourish Your Neighbor, Healthy Food Drive!
A healthy food drive emphasizes more nutritious foods such as brown rice, low-sodium canned veggies, nuts and seeds and 100% fruit juice. It's easy to get started and we provide all the materials you will need free-of-charge.
