National Food Bank Day
We are pleased to announce that from August 1st to August 31st, People First will be gathering essential items for local food banks and pantries. You can help by dropping off much-needed donations at any of our branch locations. Let's fill those shelves and ensure everyone has enough to eat!
Your donations will go to six local food banks and pantries that work diligently to support families struggling with food insecurity. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in someone's life. Let's spread the word and encourage others to join us in this effort.
Let's come together to make a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those who need it most.
Select your branch to see how to participate.
