Ready to make a difference while scoring some amazing local eats? The Gilbert Feeding Families food drive is back from February 10-23, 2025, and this year it's serving up double the impact with an exciting restaurant weekend!
The timing couldn't be more crucial. As local food pantries face their annual post-holiday depleted shelves, and with spring break approaching when many children will lose access to school meals, our Gilbert families need our support more than ever. February marks a critical time when we can come together to restock our food banks and ensure no child goes hungry during these challenging transition periods.
Local Favorites Dish Up Support
Mark your calendars for February 21-23, when dining out becomes doing good! Gilbert's beloved Spinato's Pizza, known for their legendary Italian classics and that irresistible Chicago-style crust, is returning as our premiere restaurant partner. They're doubling down on their commitment to feed our community – because nothing says "we care" quite like Spinato's famous pizza with a purpose!
Joining the delicious mission this year is also premiere partner Prep & Pastry, bringing their mouthwatering brunch creations to the cause. From their famous cast iron cinnamon rolls to creative benedicts, every bite helps stock local food banks. During the special weekend, a portion of your bill at these restaurants (and many more!) goes directly to helping Gilbert families in need. Please check the websites for all locations
Be a Food Drive Hero! Want to make an even bigger impact? It's easy, fun, and a fantastic way to show your Gilbert pride. Plus, you'll join an amazing network of community champions making sure no family goes hungry. We also need donations of food items or log on to make monetary donations. Every dollars buying power is 5x multiplied using the Midwest Food Banks bulk buying leverage.
