AURORA: The VOA Aurora Food Pantry The Aurora Community Relief Fund
MANTUA: The Crestwood 4C’s Food Pantry Kids’ Weekend Meals

Helping To Feed Your Aurora and Mantua Neighbors in Need

How important is our May 3rd food drive? Consider this…

Volunteers of America – Aurora Food Pantry:

Saw its older residents in need nearly double in 2024.

The Aurora Community Relief Fund:

Has seen more families in “desperate” need of food (and nearly every aspect of their lives) then ever before.

The Crestwood 4C’s Food Pantry:

The number of people served increased 28% in 2024.

Kids’ Weekend Meals:

Now has over 80 families and 200 kids that need weekend food.

The need for food and ‘all-around’ help is GROWING, NOT diminishing.

Your neighbors need your help!!

Please donate food or cash on May 3rd, to the Fill a Bag, Feed a Family food drive.

Please help. Here’s how...

You and your family can make a huge difference by participating in the city-wide Fill a Bag, Feed a Family food drive taking place on April 26th and May 3rd.

All we ask is for you to help us deliver empty food bags to neighborhood homes on April 26th and/or help collecting the food on May 3rd.

Last year over 620 volunteers donated just 2 hours of their time to help their neighbors in need. Please be one of those caring volunteers this year. We need you!
