Join us for a community-wide food drive for the entire month of February!
Neighbors Helping Neighbors

During the month of February, we would like to invite you to join us in showing love for our community. The Village of Clemmons will be partnering with the Clemmons Rotary and the local troops of Boy Scouts of America to support the Clemmons Food Pantry for the entire month.

Clemmons Food Pantry
Clemmons Food Pantry, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is committed to reducing hunger by providing
supplemental groceries to residents of Forsyth County, NC.  The Pantry serves over 600 families each month
on average.  Eighty-one cents of every dollar donated is used to purchase groceries from Second Harvest Food
Bank or local grocers; the remaining funds pay for rent, utilities, etc. 
Facebook Event Page
This is an event where everyone can participate. And we invite you to share your story with us!  

Ideas for collecting:

Bumper Crop Program
Several churches participate in a "Bumper Crop" program. Designate a day to have volunteers place a grocery bag with an instruction sheet to be placed under the wiper blade of all vehicles in the parking lot. Participants will fill the bag with food, bring it back to church on the designat ed day, and leave the bag by your car's bumper. The bags will be harvested during services.

"Soup"er Bowl Food Drive
Collect enough cans of soup to fill a football field (or modified one). Have fun with it. Wear team jerseys, track progress on the yard lines, etc. Just make sure to score a touchdown!
"Can" the Principal or Your Boss Food Drive
Can you bring enough food to fill an entire office? What company/school can do it first? Force that principal or boss to work in the hallway for the remainder of the food drive.

Restaurant Participation
Select a day, week, or meal to give back a percentage of proceeds to the Food Pantry.

HOA
Coordinate a food drive with pickup - perhaps a friendly competition between subdivisions.

Party Collections
Several people have asked for donations in lieu or in addition to birthday, shower, wedding gifts. Consider collecting baby food (in plastic containers) at an upcoming baby shower, kid-friendly food for birthday parties (breakfast bars, pop-top cans, etc.)
