Starting November 2nd to November 30th, the Colonel’s Cupboard will be hosting their annual drive to support the cause, alongside Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. This year we will be doing something new and exciting! Due to COVID-19, we will be focusing on a monetary drive, rather than a traditional food drive. We need your support to make this a successful event! While this is a monetary drive, we are still accepting other goods to help keep the pantry stocked. Donated goods will not count towards the competition, and will need to be sorted before being dropped off at the Cupboard when possible.
