UUH Outreach Holiday Food Drive

Sunday, November 17, 2019 - 8:00am to 8:00pm

Germantown's UUH OUTREACH PROGRAM is a small nonprofit organization that provides free services to people living all over Northwest Philadelphia who are 60+ years old.

Each holiday season, we have the opportunity to witness firsthand the power of giving when we support the UUH Outreach Program's ANNUAL HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE.

Volunteers (including many Weavers Way Working Members!) manage collection sites, sort donations, pack groceries and deliver donated goods to seniors in need.

Small acts like delivering groceries during the holiday season can have huge impacts — JOIN US again this year in support of this neighborly initiative by making a donation of food!

Look for collection sites at Weavers Way Co-op in Mt. Airy and in Chestnut Hill through Dec. 14.

And, check the Weavers Way Work Calendar for opportunities to assist with the Drive and earn work credits for your time!

SUGGESTED DONATIONS

Cereal, paper goods, beans, small serving-sized cans, and shelf-stable items.

Consider this healthy foods list. Smaller size and low-sodium items are best.

  • Canned fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors. Look for fruit canned in its own juice or with no sugar added.
  • Look for 100% fruit and vegetable juices.
  • Donate whole grains as often as you can. Look for 100% whole grain on the package or look for a whole grain as the first ingredient.
