As much as we appreciate the thought, we cannot accept donations of home cooked food, home made jams, jellies, pickles or any home canned foods. Please do not give us outdated or dented cans, opened packages or put items packaged in glass in bags or large food drives.

Refer to Q&A page forinformation about "expiration" dates.

ALERT

Proceeds from canned food drives in local grocery stores are given to Second Harvest in Charlotte, which is a fine organization but it does not share with us in Union County.
Donations to those drives do not "stay local".

Loaves and Fishes of Union County is a stand alone operation and not affiliated with the Charlotte-Mecklinburg Loaves & Fishes and Union County people in need do not derive benefit from donations made to them.
If it is sent to Charlotte, it stays there.
