Helping To Feed Your Aurora and Mantua Neighbors in Need

Our Neighbors Are Running Short of Food.
They Need Our Help... Please Volunteer!
FACT: More Families Are Food Insecure This Year Than at Any Time During the Last Two Decades.

Our local food pantries are struggling to meet the needs of our neighbors. Higher inflation, along with increased unemployment and skyrocketing food prices have made it more difficult for families to afford food.

There are an estimated 1,100 people in Aurora and Mantua who lack the means to keep food on their family’s tables.

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 13 and April 20.

All we ask is for you to help us deliver empty food bags to neighborhood homes on April 13th and/or help collecting the food on April 20th.

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!
