PORCH Cooper City is an all-volunteer hunger relief organization. We collect food and cash donations through monthly neighborhood food drives and deliver the contributions to food pantries who provide emergency food to individuals and families in our area.
PORCH is built around the simple idea of a neighborhood food drive. Here’s how it works:
Once a month, on collection day, leave your food donations on your front porch or at the designated front porch (or garage) in your neighborhood.
Volunteer Neighborhood Coordinators organize the collections, and then transport the donated food by car to one of our local food pantries.
If you don’t see your neighborhood listed, email us or complete our volunteer form as we would love to add you to our list!
Donate food – Contact us and we will let you know if there is a coordinator in your neighborhood or where the closest drop-off location is that month.
Coordinate and/or host a monthly food drive in your neighborhood! Email neighbors and post on your neighborhood social media about the collection and items needed by the partner pantry. Then, take the donated items to your designated food pantry.
