Annual Food Drive 2024

Food nourishes and brings us together — especially during the holidays. Join the movement to end hunger. During this season of giving, no one should go hungry. But 47 million people in America face hunger. Your support can help make the holidays full of joy, hope, love, and meals. Hunger knows no boundaries. It touches every community in the U.S., including your own.

Säzän Group’s offices will run concurrent traditional food drives for local branches of Feeding America, an organization with more than forty years of experience creating a network of food banks across the country. This network has 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs.

We hope you will consider donating canned food and other items as part of this effort. Food will go to the Feeding America affiliate in each state.

See below for information on the individual drives. Each drive runs through December 31st.
