MWV: Food Supply Drive

Let’s help kids start the school year strong!

Friday, May 1, 2026 to Monday, June 15, 2026

Event Details

We are inviting you to participate in an important local initiative — a Food Drive benefiting the Marion & Polk Food Share — aimed at supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity in our community.

Access to nutritious food is a basic need, and this drive is an opportunity to make a meaningful, local impact. We are collecting non-perishable food items, and we would love to have your residents and staff contribute to this important cause.

Here’s how your community can get involved:

  • Host a Collection Bin: Set up a central drop-off point in your leasing office or clubhouse to gather donations from residents and vendors
  • Promote the Drive: Share details through newsletters, bulletin boards, mail centers, or email (see templates below)
  • Engage on Social Media: Spread the word on your platforms using the sample caption
