The Columbus Civic Center, in partnership with Keep Columbus Beautiful and The Community Warriors, invites everyone to join in the spirit of giving this holiday season by participating in the Thanksgiving Food Drive.

This year’s food drive aims to help feed local families in need and give thanks to our community by spreading kindness and compassion throughout Columbus.

Every can, box, or frozen item makes a difference.

Donations will be used directly to help local families enjoy a warm and hearty Thanksgiving meal. All proceeds will be given to Feeding the Valley, which will help distribute food to families in need throughout our community.

• Canned Goods: Soups, vegetables, fruits, beans, and more

• Boxed Foods: Stuffing, rice, pasta, cereal, and similar items

• Frozen Foods: Vegetables, family meals, and other frozen items
