Cash donations and gift cards to local grocery stores are greatly appreciated along with non-perishable food items. Each food item collected counts as $1.00 toward the goal of $35,000.

[/quote_box_left]Each spring L.I.F.E. sponsors a Feed the Hungry Challenge which restocks the pantry after the holidays and when food drives are traditional slow. This challenge is crucial to help registered families throughout the year. L.I.F.E. uses monetary donations to buy food from the Freestore Foodbank and elsewhere to keep the pantry stocked. This is the largest collection event in the year.
