The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is set to begin on September 7, with a goal of collecting non-perishable food and financial donations to support local food banks in Greater Victoria, demonstrating strong community involvement with nearly 6,000 volunteers last year. In Lubbock, Texas, over 50,000 residents face food insecurity, prompting the South Plains Food Bank to seek donations and volunteers during Hunger Action Month, highlighting their programs for children and seniors. In Grande Prairie, volunteers collected around 40 tons of food for the Salvation Army Food Bank during a door-to-door drive, expected to sustain community needs through the holiday season. Food Rescue: Lansing Communities has successfully saved over 78,000 pounds of food in 2024 by distributing surplus food from local businesses to those in need. Lastly, the Interfaith Council of Elk Grove is hosting the Empty Bowls fundraiser to support local food banks and promote understanding among diverse communities. These initiatives collectively showcase the ongoing efforts to combat food insecurity across various regions.
