No veteran should go hungry at home.
We help people, service clubs and groups collect food for Orange County’s homeless veterans. You gather it, we pick it up, and it goes straight to the people who need it.
Roughly 3,500 veterans are homeless in Orange County. Every can, bag and box collected helps put a meal in front of one of them.
One can, bag, box or truckload
Turn your next meeting, party, school event or office day into a food drive. Pick the size that fits your group.
Three simple steps
Tell us about your drive
Let us know your group, your date and roughly how much you hope to collect.
Collect the food
Ask for non-perishable, ready-to-eat items. We’ll send you a list of what’s most needed.
We pick it up
Our volunteers collect it from you and deliver it to veterans in need.
Host a drive
Schools, offices, churches, clubs and neighborhoods: pick a date, collect non-perishable food, and we’ll arrange the pickup.
Volunteer
Help with pickups, sorting and deliveries, or organize a drive where you work, worship or study.
