For the second year in a row, the Kansas Food Bank is doing a “Fill a Bag – Feed a Family” campaign where people can pick up a grocery bag from us, fill it and then return to help families in need. Thanks to our partners at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, the bag collects some of our most-needed items, which will then be distributed through our network of partner food pantries! If you’d like to participate in Fill a Bag, but can’t make it to the store, click the button below to participate virtually!
This campaign is for the entire community – individuals, businesses, civic groups and more. Anyone can participate by just stopping by the Kansas Food Bank during regular business hours (Monday-Friday 8 AM – 4 PM) and asking for a bag! For large groups or companies, we ask that you let us know ahead of time so we can get the bags ready for you. Call or email Kate Birkhofer at (316) 265-3663 or kbirkhofer@kansasfoodbank.org.
Then, it’s as easy as picking up the items from the store, putting them in your bag, and returning it to the Kansas Food Bank by the end of September.
Our goal is to have 5,000 bags filled again this September! Our partners at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas have generously sponsored the cost of the bags.
Don’t forget to tag us and use #KFBHAM2024 and #HungerActionMonth on your social media! For more ways to get involved this Hunger Action Month, click here.
