The Feed the Beast Food Drive is your chance to help us devour hunger in a big, fun way! Bring along a non-perishable food item and help fuel the beast—every donation makes a real impact for neighbors in need. Whether you bring one item or go all out, your generosity helps feed more families across our community.
We’ll be celebrating generosity all weekend long, highlighting the power of giving and the difference our community can make together.
The food drive is open to both the public and Feastival patrons, and no event tickets are required to participate. Come ready to have fun, give back, and help us devour hunger—one donation at a time.
