Host a Community Food Drive

Partner with Shively Area Ministries to help fight hunger in our community! Organizing a food drive is a simple and powerful way to make a difference. Whether it's through your church, business, school, or neighborhood, your efforts help keep our pantry shelves stocked for families in need.

We welcome donations of nonperishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, peanut butter, and cereal. Every item collected goes directly to supporting local families. Food Donations can be dropped off Monday-Thursday 9am-12pm

Become a Monthly Donor Today! Your Support Transforms Lives

The average median household income for those we serve is $16,447. Last year alone, over 14,000 people received critical help from SAM. This included providing food for families who would otherwise go hungry, financial aid to prevent families from losing their homes, and supporting families raising children other than their own, ensuring these children have a stable and loving home environment.

 

Join the exceptional group of monthly donors dedicated to sustaining this mission of hope and compassion. Your monthly gift—whether it's $10, $25, or $50—will provide crucial and steady support to families in crisis. Regardless of its size, your contribution will make a significant difference. When you join, you become more than just a donor — you become a vital partner in changing lives.
