Food insecurity is an important issue in the community with so many people struggling. You can help by becoming a Hunger Hero and hosting a food drive with your group, company or business through Open Door Mission (opendoormission.org).
Some of the most urgently needed food items include: cereal, boxed meals (like Hamburger Helper), canned vegetables and mac & cheese. Open Door Mission has a step by step guide to help you host a successful food drive at www.opendoormission.org/get-involved/host-a-drive.
“Food insecurity is such a huge issue right now and so many families who have never needed help before, are seeking help to feed their families,” said Candace Gregory, President/CEO of Open Door Mission. “We appreciate everyone who hosts a drive to help with the increased need.”
