Join National Life’s cause to combat childhood hunger in Vermont by participating in the #DoGoodFeedKids food drive.

Starting Wednesday, September 18th we’ll be collecting food items to help feed our neighbors in need. Each day through Friday, September 27th we’ll have a different food collection theme – for instance, Monday, September 23rd’s theme is “Macaroni Monday”. All you have to do is bring in a box of macaroni to donate!

Here’s a list of themes for the rest of the food drive:

  • September 18 – Super Soup Wednesday
  • September 19 – Toiletry Thursday
  • September 20 – Canned Fruit Friday
  • September 23 – Macaroni Monday
  • September 24 – Tuna Tuesday
  • September 25 – Wonderful Pet Food Wednesday
  • September 26 – Peanut Butter Thursday
  • September 27 – Family Boxed Meals Friday

Follow the daily themes or simply bring in any items from the list below at any time during the drive. Collection boxes can be found next to the elevators on each floor of both the Vermont and Texas campuses.
