Pine Street's guests receive a variety of nutritious meals 365 days a year thanks to generous supporters like you.

Coordinate a Food Drive

Individuals, churches, work places, schools and communities can organize food drives to collect bulk food packages or large quantities of similar Items.

We ask for bulk items or large quantities of similar items so we can quickly incorporate donations into the production of meals for our guests and eliminate a labor-intensive sorting process.

Listed below are our most urgently needed items. Please consider selecting one of the following categories for your food drive:

Please Donate Bulk Items

Our kitchen staff prepares family style meals and operates most efficiently while working with larger boxed or canned items. Large products bought at wholesale stores not only cost less per unit — they are utilized more efficiently during production and help the environment by eliminating excess packaging waste.
