Serve Sumner County with Feed Sumner
Donate Food
Feed Sumner gladly accepts non-perishable items in unopened, undamaged packaging. Please check the dates and make sure the food hasn’t expired. Cans, boxes, and containers must be unopened and intact. Smaller, single family sizes are preferred.
Host a Food Drive
A food drive is one of the easiest ways to get your group involved in giving back to the community. You can do this by collecting various food items of your choice or specific high demand items. Our needs change throughout the year so just ask!
Businesses, organizations, and public facilities may request a Donation Box to assist in collecting food.
