Stock the Sleigh with mcfb

Montgomery County, TX, October 27, 2021 – Montgomery County Food Bank (MCFB) today announced its annual holiday food drive, Stock The Sleigh, which will run from November 1 until December 3 with a festive drop off event Saturday, December 4, 2021 at the food bank. Last year’s holiday food drive raised over 70,000 pounds of groceries and supplies along with monetary donations from the community. This year, MCFB’s goal is to collect 100,000 pounds of food to meet the increased need during the holiday season.

Montgomery County residents, businesses, civic organizations and schools are encouraged to join the food bank in the fight against hunger by participating in this year’s Stock The Sleigh food drive. To get started, interested parties should visit mcfoodbank.org/stockthesleigh to download their food drive toolkit and, if needed, schedule a time to pick up their collection boxes.

The food bank’s most needed items include:

  • Canned meat or pouches (tuna, chicken, spam)
  • Grains (rice, pasta, macaroni & cheese)
  • 100% fruit juices
  • Canned vegetables (low sodium, no salt added)
  • Canned or dry beans
  • Peanut butter
  • Canned fruits (light syrup or its own juices)
  • Hot and cold cereals (oatmeal, cheerios, corn flakes)
  • Healthy snacks (raisins, granola bars, protein bars)
  • Monetary donations ($1 provides five meals)

Stock The Sleigh food collections should be dropped off Saturday, December 4 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at MCFB located at 1 Food For Life Way, Conroe, TX, 77385. The festive drop off event will celebrate the community’s impact with holiday fun, hot chocolate, cookies, pictures with Santa, tours of the food bank and more.

“The gift of food has the power to change countless lives in our community,” said Kristine Marlow, President and CEO of MCFB. “The donations we receive during Stock The Sleigh will provide holiday meals and hope to thousands of children, seniors and families who have had a difficult time this past year. We have such a caring and generous community, and I would like to encourage our entire county to participate in this year’s holiday food drive as we continue fighting hunger and feeding hope in Montgomery County.”
