Food Drives
While ANGEL HARVEST reduces the waste of good food from all types of food industries, individuals like to give canned or packaged non-perishable food collected during food drives to help stock the local food pantries. ANGEL HARVEST picks up nonperishable food items from offices, schools, and places of worship and delivers them to local social service agencies managing food pantries.
We will assist you with written materials and information to make your drive successful.
What Should Your Food Drive Collect for ANGEL HARVEST?
The non-perishable food items that your group collects for ANGEL HARVEST will be sent to over 50 Los Angeles County social service agencies that operate food pantries helping those in need. The people who come to these agencies for food are often feeding a family with children. Donating the healthy food items that most families buy to feed children and teens will help our Agencies the most. It is also better to donate an item in a size that can feed an entire family, rather than in individual serving sizes. The list below includes some of the most needed items for our community. Choose products that are in boxes, cans or plastic bottles, and that do not have to be refrigerated. Bread and baked goods are not suitable because of their short shelf life. Items should be recently purchased and in good condition.
If you want to increase the impact of your Food Drive, consider supplementing your Food Drive with a Fund Drive.

- Canned Tuna
