PORCH Meredith College 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:
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:
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:
Email your neighbors and post on your neighborhood social media about the collection and items needed by the partner pantry, then take the collected items to your designated food pantry.
