Host a Food Drive

Your food donations can provide reliable meals to families in Austin.

Wellbeing begins with having our physical needs met, and Caritas of Austin’s Pantry makes sure clients have access to healthy groceries as they transition out of homelessness toward stability.

The majority of our Pantry items come from donations made by individuals and groups in our community. You can collect food items with friends, family, co-workers, and other groups. Big or small, all donations help to put food on the table for fellow Austinites!

Below is a list of our current most needed items. If you are interested in hosting a food or hygiene drive, please contact Kate Sanchez at ksanchez@caritasofaustin.org or 512.646.1291.

Once you register your food drive using the form below, you will receive a food drive toolkit to help with planning.
