How PORCH Works
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 location in your neighborhood.
Volunteer neighborhood coordinators pick up the donations, and then transport the food by car to one of our local food pantries.
Donate
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 a Monthly Food Drive
Email neighbors or post on your neighborhood social media about the collection and items needed by the food pantry. Then, take the donated items to your designated collection spot.
