4th annual Walk to End Hunger

WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

PARISH FOOD DRIVES

• Many Lincoln parishes are hosting a food drive for the CSS Food Market during the summer, a season when supplies traditionally run dangerously low.
• Your generous response will help fill the food market shelves for shoppers and nourish our neighbors all summer!
• To help you make the biggest impact, CSS will provide a list of the food market's most needed items. The list will be stapled onto collection bags and handed out at each parish the weekend before the drive starts. To donate, fill the bag with needed items and bring it back to the parish on the collection weekend.
• To make it fun, there's a friendly competition between the parishes to collect the most food. To give each parish equal footing, the total amount of food and cash collected by each drive will be divided by the total number of families in that parish.
