Children's Awareness Food & Fund Drive
Join us in honoring Children's Awareness Month!
May 30, 2026 – June 30, 2026
We're partnering with the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank's Kids Cafe in the month of June to recognize Children's Awareness Month, a time dedicated to supporting the safety, health, education, and overall well-being of children. We are collecting non-perishable items and monetary donations for children in need. Every contribution makes a difference!
Suggested donations include snacks and quick meals like individual applesauce or fruit cups, shelf-stable milk, 100% juice boxes, whole grain crackers, granola bars, snack packs, and simple meal options such as mac and cheese (no extra ingredients required), canned ravioli or spaghetti, instant oatmeal packets, and rice or microwaveable grain pouches. The foodbank is also in particular need of items that are often under-donated, including jelly, canned fruit, shelf-stable milk, and condiments.
When donating, please keep a few helpful guidelines in mind. Whenever possible, choose low-sodium and low-sugar options to support healthier choices. Try to avoid glass containers, as they are more difficult to transport and distribute safely. Pop-top cans are especially useful for families who may not have access to can openers. We also encourage culturally diverse food options so families can select items that best fit their preferences and needs.
🥫 Donate Food
Drop off all non-perishable food items at Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge in Newport News, VA.
