Summer Help

During the summer, children who rely on free or reduced-price school meals are now being fed at home, further stretching household budgets. While at the same time, individuals and groups that typically collect food for us go on vacation, leading to a reduction in food donations.
 
How can you help provide these children with healthy food this summer? See below.
 
All participants will receive a “Help From Home” t-shirt – and teens will receive volunteer service hours! 

Contact Volunteer Manager Zoe Garcia, zgarcia@mcifp.org, for more information.

By taking part in the SNAP Challenge, you’re stepping into the shoes of the millions of Americans who rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) to feed themselves and their families. With just $18.00 per person on food for 3 consecutive days, you’ll quickly discover the tough choices people face when trying to stretch every dollar—sacrificing nutrition, variety, and even meals just to get by.

Take the challenge. Share your journey. Help us build a stronger, more food-secure community.

We’re excited to announce the return of our Summer Teen Council! This six-week leadership and service program offers local teens ages 13-18 the opportunity to learn about food insecurity while making a meaningful impact in the community through hands-on service projects.

Make an impact without collecting a single can! A virtual food drive allows friends, family, coworkers, and community groups to donate online, helping us purchase the specific foods our neighbors need most. Every dollar goes further through our bulk purchasing power, making virtual food drives an easy and effective way to fight summer hunger.

 
 

Purchase and assemble bags filled with healthy, single-serving food products that school-age children can easily prepare themselves. Click below for more information
