Help keep our Emergency Food Pantry Stocked!
In addition to our main Member Share Grocery Program, we maintain a small Emergency Food Pantry to help families that are facing true crisis situations. Because everything we do at UP of Indian River County centers around our “hand up, not handout” model, clients must participate in a 30 minute life skills class in order to receive a free bag of emergency food items that will provide two well-rounded meals.
The non-perishable items stocked in the pantry are exclusively provided by food drives hosted by schools, churches, companies, civic groups and neighborhoods. You can help stock our shelves by collecting protein-rich items like peanut butter, tuna fish, canned chili, Vienna sausages and canned ravioli. Your kindness will not only put food on the table for a hungry family, but help a parent take the first step towards bettering their life.
