PORCH For Pantries

Every day, families in our communities wonder where their next meal will come from. PORCH for Pantries makes it easy for neighbors to come together each month to provide reliable, healthy food for local pantries — ensuring shelves are stocked with what communities truly need.

Every PORCH chapter begins with this cornerstone program. Volunteers, led by our Neighborhood Coordinators, collect non-perishable food from porches and deliver it directly to local pantries. By working hand in hand with pantry partners, donations are consistent and tailored to the health, cultural, and food preparation needs of each community:

Once a month, neighbors place bags of non-perishables on their porches

1

Volunteers collect the donations

2

Donations are brought to a local food pantry to fill their gaps

PORCH makes impact easy.

Our model is simple: monthly neighborhood food drives keep local pantries stocked.

We provide guides, training, and marketing support to help you succeed.

You’ll join a network of volunteers dedicated to fighting hunger and making your community stronger in as little as 3 hours a month.
