November Food Drive at St. Andrews

Many people are struggling with food insecurity both locally and throughout the world, especially during the current pandemic. Here are several ways you can help during our November Food Drive.

Turkey Fund Raiser (November 1st-15th)

Please help by making a financial donation towards the purchase of TURKEYS that will be used to create Thanksgiving Dinner Meals for families in need. The meals will be distributed by “The Cupboard on 54th” food bank on November 18th. You can make a contribution via the donation tab on our website, mail us a check, drop a check into our office mail slot, or use Venmo.

In addition, we will be collecting the extras to complete the meal packages.
