Donate Food

ShepherdsMarket_WeeklyUHighFoodDriveWe welcome food and household product donations of any kind. Food stamps cannot be used to purchase household items, diapers, pet food and personal hygiene items. Consequently, these items along with staple foods are in high demand.

You can host a food drive, and it’s really easy! Organize one at your workplace, your church, your children’s school or with any social group or club. We even have a quilting group that collects food for The Shepherd’s Market. No group is too big or too small to help us fight hunger and provide food assistance. Contact us to get started.

Would your church be interested in supporting The Shepherd’s Market with a Grocery Bag Sunday? At St. John’s United Methodist Church, members bring bags of food on the first Sunday of every month. Your church can do the same, and we will provide our bright yellow reusable shopping bags. Contact us to get started.
