Non-Perishable Food Donation
The ReCollective Members Donate Non-Perishable Food
Clean out your pantry for a good cause! By donating non-perishable food items, you’re not just clearing space, but also helping to feed those in need in our community. Your contributions can make a big difference, turning your pantry surplus into a source of support for families and individuals facing food insecurity.
Non-perishable food should be placed in the ReCo Pick Bag during designated months.
