February is National Canned Food Month, and the Southeast Missouri Food Bank is encouraging businesses and organizations to help local pantries replenish their shelves after the holiday season with the second annual “You CAN Fight Hunger” campaign.
Businesses and organizations are urged to host a virtual food drive, traditional canned food drive or both to participate in the campaign; if they opt for a traditional food drive, they will be paired with a pantry in their community so all donations stay local.
If you’re interested in hosting a drive or would like more information, contact Sarah Garner at the Southeast Missouri Food Bank (sagarner@semofoodbank.org).
