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.

Summer Stock Up

This summer, help keep our shelves stocked and our neighbors nourished.

Organize a food drive and collect our most-needed items to support local families facing food insecurity. Every donation helps ensure that children, seniors, and families in our community have access to healthy food all summer long.

Virtual Food Drive

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.

SNAP Challenge 2026

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

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. For three consecutive days, limit your food budget to $6.43 per person, per day and 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.
