Host a Food & Essentials Drive

Help nourish and care for our elders

Host a Bountiful Pantry Drive to gather food and personal items for older adults!

Make a difference in the lives of older adults in our community! Host a Bountiful Pantry Food & Essentials Drive and help ensure our elders don’t have to choose between putting food on the table, picking up prescriptions, paying rent, or accessing other essential items they need. Every donation—whether it’s nutritious food or essential non-food items—provides nourishment, care, and peace of mind for thousands of older adults across El Paso County. With your support, we can fill pantries, meet essential needs, and show our elders they are valued and cared for.
