Archbishop Naumann speaks with Camille Pickhinke, Director of Community Engagement for Catholic Charities about how local food pantries are in urgent need of food donations.

With the rising cost of food, supply chain issues, and an increase of those accessing Catholic Charities food pantries (up 25% since February 2022) the need to feed our neighbors in need is critical.

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

• Donate food items at your local parish food drive. For a list of where to find our food truck in the KC Metro visit our website: https://catholiccharitiesks.org/food-drives
• Host a food drive. Contact Camille at [email protected] to schedule.
• Go shopping. Take the list with you to the grocery store and purchase items from our most needed list and donate to your local Catholic Charities food pantry.
• Donate at the Hy-Vee Food Drive. Find our volunteers throughout the month on Saturdays at area Hy-Vee stores: https://catholiccharitiesks.org/food-drives
• Shop from our Amazon Wish List. Click “add to cart” from wherever you are and have food items delivered directly to our warehouse for distribution to our food pantries.    Find our list here: https://shorturl.at/bEFQY or scan this QR code
