10th Annual
Parade of Cans Food Drive

Parade of Cans is an annual food collection campaign benefiting the Community Kitchen and Backpack Program of The Corner Table. Area organizations participating in the campaign compete to see who can collect the most non-perishable items/money. Donations are measured by weight. The organization who collects the most weight in various categories will be awarded trophies.

Why is Parade of Cans Important to Our Community?
During the summer months at the Community Kitchen, guests increase, and the donation of non-perishable items slow down. August is also the time our Backpack Program starts gearing up for the school year. Our Backpack Program provides children in our local school systems with weekend food bags. This August will mark the 10th year of the food drive competition. Parade of Cans is a great opportunity to replenish the Community Kitchen’s stockroom and the Backpack Program’s warehouse. Your support will allow The Corner Table to continue meeting the needs of hungry individuals in our community through various food programs.
