September is a month-long food drive where people all over America stand together to fight hunger. It's a month to spread the word and take action on the hunger crisis and dedicate ourselves to a solution.

Canterbury School has an annual food drive in the month of November. They have a passion for helping families in hunger during the holidays.

Classic Hits 101.7 hosts an Stuff-A-Bus Radiothon to help Associated Churches' Food Pantries and the hungry in our community receive the simple blessing of food. A bus will be parked in the Georgetown Square parking lot for 3 days collecting food.

Every year, Associated Churches gives our local service members and their families a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal in a box. Over 150 families receive a box filled with a turkey and all the trimmings.
