Community Food Drives
Share is fortunate to have many wonderful groups who sponsor annual food drives. It is a great way for people who cannot volunteer on a regular basis due to work or family demands to show their support for our neighbors in need. On this page, we feature some of these annual drives. We also provide more tips on how to hold your own drive. Share is always looking for organizations to host food drives from March to September when our pantry shelves tend to be bare.
McLean 5K
McLean 5K runners dropped off canned food and toiletries when picking up their race packets, and Share’s truck was ready to collect the donations at the Old Firehouse on Friday, October 6, 2023.
Temple Rodef Shalom
Temple Rodef Shalom held another successful food drive in September 2023--almost two trucks full of food and toiletries were donated! Thank you, for more than 20+ years of your support!
