It’s that time again. Help us fill our pantry for the coming year. The drive, which runs from October 1 through November 30, will focus on a few items of which we can never seem to get enough:
We use these items every day and find ourselves running low on them throughout the year. You can help keep that from happening. Here’s how:
Step 1: Contact leadership at your church or business and see if they’d be willing to partner with UGM in our Fall Food Drive. (Call our resource coordinator for a flyer with all the important information – 509-532-3815 )
Step 2: Ask a leadership representative to call UGM to arrange for barrel delivery. (Same number as above.)
Step 3: Your church or business will be assigned one of the above items. Collect as much as you can. (Optional: Turn it into a competition. Make weekly announcements. Take pictures with your donations and post them on social media with the tagline: #UGMFallFoodDrive.)
Step 4: We’ll pick up your barrel the first week of December or, if you fill it before that time, we can pick up your full barrel and drop off an empty one.
Still have questions? Call 509-532-3815
