Calling all schools, businesses (large and small), civic organizations, and churches!

Did you know that FoodNet Food Bank averages 3000 bags a month distributed to neighbors and families who are experiencing food insecurity? That comes at a cost of over $25,000 a month in purchasing food.

You can help offset the burden on FoodNet Food Bank by hosting a canned food drive this November with the goal of collecting 2,000 lbs of non-perishable food. Bring your collected items to the Cajundome on December 6th and highlight your organization’s contribution to the overall total at this year’s Food for Families Food Drive!

MOST NEEDED ITEMS:

• Boxed Crackers
• Canned Tuna/Salmon/Chicken
• Dried Beans/Lentils/Peas
• Canned Beans/Chili
• Peanut Butter/Jelly
• Canned Soup/Stew
• Instant Oatmeal
• Pasta/Spaghetti Sauce
