Yes We CAN! Food Drives

Yes We CAN! Food Drives Yes We CAN! The group now meets regularly to set up the food drives and has enlisted the support of dozens of volunteers who collect food at the markets.

Food Drives is a volunteer group dedicated to helping alleviate the growing tide of hunger in Mercer County, New Jersey, by holding regular food drives at area supermarkets and farmers markets.
