Punta Gorda Food Drive Nov 21 – Charlotte Harbor Parrot Head Club
Join Us for the Annual Food Drive: Saturday, November 21 in Punta Gorda
The holidays are coming, and so is one of our favorite days of the year. On Saturday, November 21, the Charlotte Harbor Parrot Head Club will be set up in the Walmart parking lot on Taylor Road collecting food for neighbors who need it most. Everything we collect goes straight to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry.
You don't need to be a member to help. All it takes is a bag of groceries and a few minutes on your way into the store.

When: Saturday, November 21, 9 AM – 4 PM

What to bring
Non-perishable food, household supplies and cash donations are all welcome. Pantry favorites include:
Canned vegetables, fruit, soup and chili
Canned tuna and chicken
Peanut butter
Pasta, rice and pasta sauce
Cereal and oatmeal
Boxed meals like mac and cheese
Please make sure everything is unopened and not past its date.
Can't make it on the 21st?
You can still help. Make a cash donation online at chphc.com/donate. Food pantries can buy in bulk for far less than retail, so every dollar stretches further.
Why we do it
The Parrot Head motto is "Party with a Purpose," and this is that purpose in action. Food needs in Charlotte County climb every year around the holidays. A few cans from a lot of people adds up to full shelves at the pantry when families need it.
So grab an extra bag of groceries, swing by, say hello, and enjoy some tunes. We'll see you there!
Prefer to give cash? Anyone can donate online, anytime, at chphc.com/donate.
Help us spread the word! Share this post with friends, neighbors and your church or community groups. The more people who know, the fuller the pantry shelves will be.
