Why not… Sponsor A Food Drive?

Sponsoring a food drive can be an especially engaging way for a group of people to contribute to The NSC. Some organizations plan a food drive right into their other scheduled events - holiday parties, award dinners, staff picnics, or religious services. Ask us ahead of time for a list of food items most in need, or call to get ideas for how to boost your intake and make the drive most memorable for your organization or group.
