Host a Drive

Help your neighbor with the items they need most by conducting a drive for food, hygiene products, or clothing like socks, hats and gloves

As prices at the grocery store continue to rise, more families are turning to our pantries for help. We have an urgent need for our community to help us keep our pantry shelves stocked. Please consider hosting a Food Drive.

Hosting an Item Drive is a year-round way to make a difference in addressing poverty here in the Kansas City and St. Joseph area. Drives are a great way for schools, offices, community groups, and places of worship to join Catholic Charities ending hunger and making certain that families have life’s basic necessities.

Often, people come to us with an urgent need. We meet that urgent need first.

Then, we work to address the root causes of poverty. Your donations make an immediate impact in those lives.
