Help ‘Sleigh Hunger’ in Greater Williamsburg at the Christmas in July Food Drive

WILLIAMSBURG — The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Williamsburg will host a Christmas in July Drive-Thru Food Drive on Thursday, July 24, with a goal of collecting 10,000 pounds of food to support families served by Grove Christian Outreach Center.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Williamsburg ReStore located at 1303 Jamestown Road. Those donating can drive through and drop off items without getting out of their car.

The community is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to help fill the shelves and support neighbors facing food insecurity during the summer months — a time when donations typically slow down but need remains high, according to organizers.

Suggested items include but aren’t limited to:

  • Cereal
  • Pasta
  • Canned vegetables and fruit
  • Soups
  • Tuna
  • Rice
  • Baby food

Food donations will directly benefit local families served by Grove Christian Outreach Center, a nonprofit that provides essential resources and services to those in need in the Greater Williamsburg area.

Donations can also be made at the Williamsburg, Newport News or Yorktown ReStore locations any time before the event.
