Boys & Girls Club Food Drive

Our club is now working with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Maryland (located in North Beach) to provide food to local families. This is a recurring event.

Food drop-off at the Boys and Girls Club on food drive/distribution days is from 9:00 to 10:00AM. The Boys & Girls Club will be distributing food afterward (typically from 10:00AM to noon).

You can also drop off donations at the Boys & Girls Club any day, 8:30 AM to 8 PM. Just let the front desk know the donations are for Ms. Joy Hill.

Please pick up the following items for the food drive (see flyer for current needs):

• Canned goods, pasta, spaghetti sauce, cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, taco or burrito kits, bags of beans or rice, etc.
• Personal care items such as diapers, sanitary pads, tampons, soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc.
• Cakes or store-bought baked treats are greatly appreciated
• Fresh produce (only if dropped off at BGCSM Saturday morning - other food collectors may not have fridge capacity for this)
• Some people only have a microwave for cooking, so microwaveable donations are appreciated.
• If you can, bring multiples of each thing. In other words, rather than bringing 10 different things, bring 10 of one thing.
• Another useful idea is to bring things that go together for a meal, like pasta & sauce.
• Due to insurance considerations, bulk foods can't be divided/portioned, so please stick to prepackaged if bringing rice, beans, flour, etc.

Local Drop-off Sites

For convenience and social distancing, CCDWC volunteers will collect & consolidate food and get it to the Boys & Girls Club.
