Your contributions to the 2025 LIVE UNITED Food Drive have made a tremendous impact on our community, achieving the third highest results ever. Thanks to nearly 40 dedicated volunteers, we picked up donations from over 80 collection sites and delivered food to 20 local pantries.
We collected an amazing 18,024 pounds of items and raised $12,466.86 in donations. This support is crucial, especially during the summer months when food pantries often struggle to keep their shelves full. Because of your generosity, local families will have access to nutritious food.
One local teacher shared how inspiring it was for her students to take part in the drive. Many of the students who benefit from the pantry even helped reach their class goal. This experience taught them about kindness and giving back to the community.
Local organizations are grateful for this support. The team at Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry said, “Because of your support, we can keep our pantry stocked with essential items that help families live healthier lives. Thank you for making a positive difference in our community.”
Similarly, the SHOP (Students Helping Our Peers) Student Food Pantry expressed their appreciation: “Thank you for supporting SHOP through the CyCan Food Drive this March! Your help means a lot to us and makes a big difference for our students. Your generosity helps them thrive in college and succeed in the future.”
The success of this year’s LIVE UNITED Food Drive wouldn’t have happened without everyone who contributed. Every donation, whether food or money, is vital in supporting our local pantries and the families they serve.
