S.O.S Food Fight Donation Drive 2026
Hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation, but donations to food pantries are slowest between June and August. Join us in pushing back against hunger with our second annual S.O.S. (School’s Out Summer) Food Fight competition, June 11th through July 9th. Local businesses are partnering with Sunshine Place to collect non-perishable food and personal care donations at their locations to help keep the pantry stocked. The business who collects the highest pounds of food per employee wins, and we all win when everyone in our community can access food.
Donate items at participating locations found in the drop-down menu below from June 11th through July 9th, or donate online to benefit your chosen location by clicking on the button below.
