As it turns chilly and the holiday spirit begins to fill the air, we’re reminded that as we gather to celebrate with feasts and festivities, not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy the same abundance. Many in our community struggle every day, and particularly during the holiday season, to put plentiful and nutritious food on their table.

PORCH Communities is a grassroots organization mobilizing volunteers to create sustainable hunger relief programs in their local areas. Our simple model is used by 1,500 volunteers in 550 neighborhoods across 10 states. Each month, volunteers engage their neighbors to collect non-perishable food and financial donations to benefit local pantries, schools, and community centers. Join us and make your town a PORCH community. Learn more in our 2022 Impact Report.
Local pantries are a critical lifeline for families who struggle to put food on the table. Each month, Neighborhood Coordinators volunteering with PORCH collect non-perishable items from local porches and deliver them to the pantries.
