Host a Food Drive for Homeless Children in OC

ORGANIZATION: Giving Children Hope

Giving Children Hope's "We've Got Your Back" program provides backpacks full of nutritious food for Orange County children that suffer from chronic hunger. Backpacks are filled with food and sent home with a child so that they will have food for the weekend.

By way of the "We've Got Your Back" program, Giving Children Hope serves 1,180 local elementary students each week, but we need more food to feed these kids. You can help by collecting essential food items from family, friends, businesses, and local organizations. Organize food drive events or speak to individuals on a person by person basis.

Most needed food drive items:

  • Peanut or Sunflower Seed Butter (natural) (16 oz. or larger)
  • Bagged Rice (brown or long grain preferred) (2 lb. bag)
  • Dried Beans (low sodium) (2lb. or larger)
  • Whole Grain Cereal or Oatmeal (low sugar) (box)
  • Canned or Boxed Soup (low sodium)
  • Whole Grain Pasta (1 lb. or larger)
  • Canned Meats & Fish (in water) (15 oz.)
  • Healthy Snacks (such as low sugar granola bars, raw nuts, dried fruit)
  • 1 Canned Pasta or Tomato Sauce (24 oz.)
  • Water Bottles
Please contact us at volunteer@godaid.org for more information on how to host a food drive. Thank you for your interest in helping the homeless children of Orange County.
