Hunger and the need for food knows no season.
Right now, food pantries are struggling to maintain the levels of service they have been seeing over the past year.
The cost of fuel is cutting into already slim grocery budgets for many, and the supply chain issues around the world are affecting the amount of food available for food rescue or other traditional methods of stocking pantry shelves. In the past, food pantries would see some regular donors making regular trips with a bag or two of groceries that, collectively, had a tremendous impact. Fuel costs are keeping people closer to home, and reducing the amount of “extra” people are able to do.
Food pantries are feeling the squeeze, and are looking for help.
Let’s come together as a community to help!

Hunger and the need for food knows no season.
Right now, food pantries are struggling to maintain the levels of service they have been seeing over the past year.
The cost of fuel is cutting into already slim grocery budgets for many, and the supply chain issues around the world are affecting the amount of food available for food rescue or other traditional methods of stocking pantry shelves. In the past, food pantries would see some regular donors making regular trips with a bag or two of groceries that, collectively, had a tremendous impact. Fuel costs are keeping people closer to home, and reducing the amount of “extra” people are able to do.
Food pantries are feeling the squeeze, and are looking for help.
Let’s come together as a community to help!

Earth Day Donation Drive
2022-04-23 10:00 - 16:00 | Newport News ReStore, 371 Chatham Drive, Newport News, 23602, United States
Earth Day is an annual milestone that encourages us to stop for a moment and invest in our planet — a concept that’s easy to embrace yet daunting if we ask what can we do that really makes a difference?
Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg recommends an easy solution that benefits you, the environment and your local community.
Donate to the Habitat ReStores in Newport News and Williamsburg. In fact, on April 23, one day after Earth Day, the Newport News ReStore at 371 Chatham Drive will sponsor a donation drive to coincide with Earth Day. A ReStore truck will be parked at the front of the store, making it easy for anyone to drive right up with donations that will be unloaded by staff.
“Anybody can donate, anybody can shop and anybody can volunteer at the ReStore,” said Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg. “In order to raise the millions of dollars we have at the ReStore, we’ve relied on the generosity of our community.”
Donated items are either resold at 30% to 90% off retail or they are recycled. Proceeds go toward the Habitat mission of building homes, community and hope locally.
Folks looking to tackle spring cleaning and the clutter that amassed over the colder months can tidy their homes while supporting an outstanding cause.
“The ReStore has helped divert tens of thousands of tons of stuff from landfills by reusing, recycling, repurposing and restoring items that are truly treasures to some folks,” said Tina McCabe, Director of the Newport News ReStore.
Most know to donate gently used furniture and appliances, but what else?
A few ideas:
• Dishes and china
• Books and CDs
• Collectibles and knickknacks
• Children’s toys, board games and gaming equipment
• Jewelry
• Electrical and plumbing hardware and tools
If you haven’t used a kitchen appliance, crafting materials or linens gifted to you years ago, why not donate these items so that someone in need could benefit? If you’re planning to downsize, spring is an ideal time to sort through everything you’ve accumulated and ask yourself whether you truly will be using it.
If your garage has become a spare room for sports and exercise equipment, free up space with your donations. Get rid of unwanted skis, tennis rackets, golf clubs and golf bags.
