Ways to help

For every bag you reuse at PCC, PCC donates five cents, equally shared by the PCC Food Bank Program and PCC Farmland Trust.

Donate non-perishable products
All PCC stores collect nonperishable food or non-food items that are then directly donated to their neighborhood food banks. These are the most commonly needed items:
- Canned proteins, such as tuna, peanut butter, beans and chicken
- Canned vegetables and fruit
- Baby food, infant formula and diapers
- Canned prepared foods, such as chili or stew
- Hot or cold cereals
- Shelf-stable or powdered milk
- Cooking oil
- Dried foods, such as noodles, pasta and crackers
- Toiletries, such as soap, toothpaste and toilet paper
Volunteer at a food bank packaging
Every other month, PCC purchases bulk food at wholesale prices and with the help of volunteers, packages it into family-sized portions for distribution at each partner food bank. Find a packaging party near you »
