Annual Food for Hope

Grocery Bag Food & Fund Drive

Many households in Jackson County don’t know where their next meal is coming from. A donation today can help ACCESS provide food to those who are food insecure in our community. Your gift will help feed vulnerable children, seniors, and fire-impacted families, and help our community stay healthy.

Can You Help Feed a Local Family?

ACCESS’ Food for Hope grocery bag drive is the largest annual community food and fund drive helping to fight hunger in Jackson County. The goal for this food and fund drive is to collect 10,000 pounds of food and $30,000 to help support ACCESS Food Programs.

The ACCESS food programs supply vulnerable households with accessible and healthy food through local food pantries, boxes of food for seniors, and other programs for families, children, and those affected by natural disasters.

EVERY $1 DONATED PROVIDES 4 MEALS FOR LOCAL FAMILIES

Thank You For Caring About Our Community!

Donation Tip! Upgrade to a monthly donation to make the BIGGEST impact in our community. A monthly donation of just $15 provides 720 meals to our community annually!
