Help “Sleigh Hunger” at the Christmas in July Food Drive — Goal: 10,000 Pounds of Food for Local Families in Need
The need for food assistance continues to grow across Greater Williamsburg, and local shelves are in urgent need of restocking. To meet this demand, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Williamsburg will host a Christmas in July Drive-Thru Food Drive on Thursday, July 24, with a goal of collecting 10,000 pounds of food to support families served by Grove Christian Outreach Center.
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Williamsburg ReStore located at 1303 Jamestown Road.
Donating is simple—just drive through and drop off your items. No need to get out of your car.
Community members are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to help fill the shelves and support neighbors facing food insecurity during the summer months—a time when donations typically slow down but need remains high.
Suggested items include but aren’t limited to:
- Cereal
- Pasta
- Canned vegetables and fruit
- Soups
- Tuna
- Rice
- Baby food
Food donations will directly benefit local families served by Grove Christian Outreach Center, a nonprofit that provides essential resources and services to those in need in the Greater Williamsburg area.
If you can’t make it on July 24, you can still participate by dropping off donations at the Williamsburg ReStore any time before the event.
